  1. LOCAL Transport planning in practice eThekwini Transport Authority (Durban) 31 Jan 2007 UCT Andrew Aucamp: Senior Transportation Engineer

  2. eThekwini Municipality First Transport Authority in SA

  3. Aim for this 1 ½ hour Insight into local integrated transport planning in practice At local government level see most clearly … Theory versus practice Planning / Intentions vs implementation realities Also – Romania at a glance

  4. Context of Local Government National Gov Provincial Gov Local Gov National Policy National Goals / Objectives National Outcomes Regional Policy Regional Goals / Objectives Regional outcomes IMPLEMENTATION Local Policy Local Goals / Objectives Local outcomes Real action!

  5. Some of the problems at Local level Congestion Taxi violence High accidents Poor PT High subsidies Poor modal integration Fragmented decision making Etc.

  9. Just completed our comprehensive Road Safety Plan… eThekwini Road Safety Plan to provide single purpose for all Stakeholders 5 year “Events calendar” to co-ordinate all activities (3E’s) (campaigns, programmes and focus areas) Appropriate business plans to NDOT, KZNDOT and Council Simplified co-ordination structures - eThekwini Road Safety Council (political) - eThekwini Road safety Tech Committee - Eng, Educ and Enf / Emergency services WGs - Community Committees ETA – oversee, co-ordinate, monitor, Road safety intelligence unit Reduction Targets

  11. Three Strategic Thrusts • Getting the basics right – laying good foundations • (Metro focus) • Prioritising High risk zones • Focused, area wide programmes

  12. But now to implementation… Role players National – DOT and SANRAL - Dept of justice Provincial – DOT (Education, RTI, Eng) - Dept of Health - Dept of Education Local - Metro Police - Fire - Emergency services - Engineering Private - Hospitals - Ambulance services - Tow Trucks - AA Others… As one local Municipality, how do you get all the players to participate? (Internationally, best done at a national and ministerial level) Road safety not a core issue

  13. Strategy • Focus on key alliances that you have most control over: • Metro Police – enforcement • Metro Police RSEO’s and Provincial Rd safety education – co-ordinate and integrate • Engineering Unit: Local programme co-ordinated with above and keep an eye on Province and SANRAL • Start bringing others on board…

  16. Freight • Only just started… • Collecting data, understanding issues etc • Eventually develop a model with origin-destination data categorised by cargo type and volumes Some challenges… - Portnet and Spoornet – VERY difficult to influence. Portnet won’t even put Port masterplan on the table.

  17. Some projects to date… • 2 major road proposals to alleviate heavy vehicle congestion and delays coming out of Port. • About to put out a project to… • identify a freight route network • identify a hazardous chemical route network - APPOINTMENT • identify an abnormal load route network Port, KZN DOT, Truckers, Fire Dept etc

  20. Public Transport Statutory plans: CPTR, OLS, Rat Plan and PTP

  21. Theory vs practice Application assessments In theory… Recommendation to the Board CPTR OLS Applications for licences

  22. CPTR: Information collecting via destination origin GIS based • Facilities (ranks, terminals, stops, holding) • no. bays • No. isles • amenities at rank • Geometrics • Utilisation • Supply information • no. associations • No. routes • No vehicles • Timetables • fares • Demand info • no passengers • Waiting times • Utilisation of veh Am peak 3 hr

  23. CPTR Issues • Cost – over R5,0 mill – AM Peak 3 hrs (some PM peak 3 hrs) 2. 12 months to collect IF DO PROPERLY 3. Starting Points (AM and PM difficult to find) 4. Minibus taxi “fluidity”

  24. Fluidity Residential area ? Rank Minor dest. Major dest.

  25. OLS • Assessment of license applications • - Info outdated as soon as collected (legal challenge) • - Cost of fresh surveys • * 1 CBD dispute (over R200 000 for limited info) • - Financial viability * AM + valley + PM * Weekend * turnover of seats on trip (all on-offs on all taxis) * All competing services – impact on them • Enforcement – route swapping

  26. Theory vs practice Restructuring In theory… • Utilisation of routes • Ideal mode by corridor • Restructure system for efficiency • remove / issue licences CPTR OLS PTP In practice…

  27. Restructuring • Major corridor • PT split • Rail – 6000 • Bus – 9000 • Taxi – 15 000 • TOT 30 000 one way pass per day • Rail – 15% utilisation • Bus 30% utilisation • Taxi 85% utilisation What must happen and how?

  28. TAXIS: License – rights in perpetuity – MUST compensate, relocate or move into bus industry How compensate? - Business – some % of asset value – not good for PT ops - need to know income, expenditure, profit etc- no records! - Negotiate with each single operator – all slightly different WHERE MONEY COME FROM?? How relocate? - Large number of operators - Existing operators in all other areas - violence Move into Bus industry – opportunity, but is limited! Re-cap is supposed to help, but where is it? Also: affordable, restructuring???

  29. RAIL: Objective – feed people to rail First need to upgrade VERY POOR rolling stock and critical infrastructure - Cost: in excess of R 1 bill in eThekwini - Not under local authority control – SARCC - Good recent interactions: project to deliver 30 train sets in 5 years – wait and see… - Devolution still far away Still planning with different perspectives… E.g. Line closures

  32. Integration and the IDP • ITP • Mission statement and goals • Broad transport policy • Spatial framework, Long term trends and key city projects • TDM • Public Transport • Roads • Road safety • Freight • Traffic man and control, ITS • Special projects • Funding strategy • Implementation plan • Monitoring evaluation and KPI’s IDP Spatial framework 8 Programmes - Economic dev and job creation - Quality living environments - Safety and security - Healthy and empowered - Embrace our cultural diversity - Sustainable environment - Local gov democratisiation - Financial viability and sustainability ? Placing of projects is important, due to strategic budget allocations.

  33. 1. IDP Spatial Framework How have we partly influenced the IDP process and Spatial framework? • Major project: spatial structure and LUMS to support PT: • Reduce sprawl (housing project in particular) • Densify PT corridors • Support key economic nodes

  34. Public Transport Structuring Model results

  35. 2. Land-use Nodes and corridors Meetings and Workshops with Metropolitan and Local Land-use planners.

  36. 3. High Priority Public Transport Network Consolidated PTSM and Land-use results

  37. Ideal Corridor development Single attractor Strategies Dual attractor Multi-nodal attractor

  38. 2. Analyse HPPTN corridor sections and classify by typology Bridge City Corridor typology: SINGLE ATTRACTOR Public Transport Volumes Dbn CBD

  39. Examine existing zone New zone / modify zone: Statement of intent Controls etc

  40. Current trend scenario • development in outlying areas • reduction in maintenance/ rehabilitation of infrastructure (need to spend 1.7% of asset value = R868M) • mismatch between capital and operating capacity • rising debt 400ha 155ha 135 ha LEGEND Relocation of some 240ha of existing economic activity from currently serviced areas (Inner city & SIB)Take up 10ha pa Housing: In Situ Upgrade Housing: Greenfields Private: Greenfields Residential Economic Development Economic Development Economic Development:Hectares developed per area over 10 years ha

  41. Current trend Unsustainable because: • Outward growth forces spending on new platform infrastructure with a high cost : benefit ratio • 20 year population projection – no growth • Contributes to confidence crisis in CBD & SIB • Public transport system becomes non-viable because it is reliant on a healthy CBD and SIB • Housing in outlying locations incur high transport subsidy costs, e.g. if a house was located centrally rather than in Mpumalanga, the higher cost of land is offset in 5 to 7 years through savings on transport subsidies • Existing infrastructure is not being properly maintained yet we are in the process of extending this network.

  42. Framework for Sustainable Development High Priority Public Transport Network Urban Edge • Includes 83% of population • Includes entire HPPTN • Includes majority of high density informal settlements • Sewer capacity inside line Urban core • Need to differentiate areas of developmental intervention verses maintenance • Need to identify area of highest level of infrastructure excess capacity for densification at lowest cost Rural/Peri urban• 65% of the municipal area• dispersed settlements• sparsely populated• important environmental services• rich cultural traditions

  43. Urban Core Urban Periphery Peri Urban Periphery Rural Periphery • Population • (% of total) 825 000 27% 1 727 000 56% 333 000 11% 174 000 6% • Area (ha) • (% of total) 33 400 15% 45 200 20% 65 700 29% 85 500 36% Peri Urban • Density (people/ha) 25 38 5 2 • Average Platform Infrastructure Cost per Site (R) Sewer 220 1 150 4 100 8 000 Total 440 2 300 8 200 16 000 Housing Project: MOLWENI Sewer Platform (R/site): 7 000 Rural Housing Project: HAZELMERE Sewer Platform (R/site): 20 000 Peri Urban Housing Project: GOQOKAZI Sewer Platform (R/site): 1 600 Urban core Housing Project: TSHELIMNYAMA Sewer Platform (R/site): 2 000 Rural Urban periphery Housing Project: BOOTH RD Sewer Platform (R/site): 0 Housing Project: LAMONTVILLE Sewer Platform (R/site): 0 Peri Urban Infrastructure costs across the EMA

  44. But still, the SDF is a very broad framework. It does not clearly articulate key economic projects or nodes, priorities, timeframes etc. So… We interviewed all the sectors in terms of their key city projects, spatial priorities and concerns etc.

  45. 2. Projects Set up a ITP WG – all sectors invited, not all participated. Got all sectors and ABM’s to give any transport projects to us – included them in project lists.

  46. 3. Prioritisation Developed a framework for prioritisation … Spatial / project priority areas CDB SDB ABM’s Key econ projects • IDP Goals • Econ Development • Meet basic needs • Qual Living env X X X Entire ITP WG prioritised projects

  47. 4. Environmental issues • Have basic energy efficiency policy • Programme to develop carbon emissions model (1st for SA) • Develop emission reduction strategies • UK exchange programme : 6-12 Feb 2005 to London mainly • Carbon financing • Carbon models • Transport and sustainable policy and integration • emission reduction strategies
