Sedibeng and that need to be resolved to ensure a successful planning environment
for the future are:
• fragmented transport functional responsibilities;
• insufficient and instability of funding for transport planning and implementation;
and
• the lack of institutional and human resources capacities.

infrastructure, transport operations and transport management. In order to achieve

Director responsible for Public Transport and Infrastructure Planning. There are also
tw o Professional Officers responsible for public transport operational matters.
