1.7 Aligning departmental budgets to achieve government’s prescribed outcomes

The Department has a role to play in each of the strategic national priorities and the goals of the province.
To address this, the department has developed its own priorities, which will embrace the National

Development Plan (NDP), Five-Year Implementation Plan, the Transport Sector Long Term Plans and
Outcomes, and the Local Government Plans.

The departmental approach was informed by the Medium Term Strategic Framework and the obligation to
respond to some of the goals and priorities, which included: Economic Transformation and Job Creation;

Education, Skills and Health; Consolidating the Social Wage through Reliable and Quality Basic Services;
Spatial Integration, Human Settlements and Local Government; Social Cohesion and Safe Communities;

A Capable, Ethical and Developmental State; and A Better Africa and World.

The department also has a responsibility of contributing towards implementation of the Provincial
Development Plan Goals, particularly Goal 1: Innovative and Inclusive Growing Economy, Goal 2: An

enabling infrastructure network and Goal 6: Capable and Democratic Institutions.

To align to these priorities and goals, the department’s impact during the current electoral term is to provide
a ‘Safe and Reliable Transport System.’ In order to realise this impact, the department identified the
following key outcomes with key projects that will be implemented in 2023/24, which may ultimately enable

the department to achieve its impact:

Outcome1: Improved Public Transport System

x Institutionalisation of Integrated Transport Masterplan;
x Increase and improve monitoring of scholar transport;

x Maintaining and reconfiguring existing bus passenger transport; and
x Maintenance and upgrading of airports.

Outcome 2: Improved Transport Infrastructure

x Construction of key provincial strategic roads and bridges; and
x Explore alternative means of transport infrastructure delivery.
