Expenditure increased from R292.641 million in 2021/22 to revised estimate of R398.040 million in 2024/25. In 2025/26, the budget increases significantly by 26.0 per cent to R501.727 million. Compensation of employees increased from R261.331 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R322.837 million in 2024/25, due to the implementation of the new organisational structure on PERSAL and the ongoing process of filling vacant posts. The budget increases by 29.9 per cent to R419.265 million in 2025/26, driven by the planned filling of critical funded vacant posts, as the department implements a 24/7 shift system and envisages employing 150 traffic officers as well as provisions made for the CoE adjustment in anticipation of the wage agreement. Goods and services increased from R25.406 million in 2020/21 to R71.428 million in the 2024/25 revised estimate is primarily attributed to the procurement of uniforms and accommodation for 150 students at the Traffic Training College. This is followed by 2.0 per cent increase to R72.847 million in 2025/26 driven by provisions made for the payment of a filing system to digitise and manage traffic-related documents, including fines, accident reports, and licensing documents, in the Back Office. Transfers and subsidies increased from 2021/22 R5.602 million to R615 thousand in 2024/25 revised estimate is due to the centralisation of the leave gratuities under Programme 1: Administration. The budget increases by R5.000 million in 2025/26 due to the provision made for the establishment of a formal provincial regulation authority/council that will regulate and train the driving school. Capital payments increase from R297 thousand in 2021/22 to R3.160 million in 2024/25 revised estimate. This increase is mainly due to the procurement of evidential alcohol screeners, firearms and road block kits for 128 traffic trainees absorbed by the department in 2024/25. In 2025/26, the budget increases by 46.0 per cent to R4.615 million due to the provision for calibration and repairs on equipment i.e. speed equipment, alcohol testers and weigh bridges, and filing for Average Speed Over Distance (ASOD). 677
