The Devil is in the Detail – Webinar on Aarto

The Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act, 1998 is an act of the Parliament of South Africa which introduces a points demerit system for violations of traffic law. It is managed by the Road Traffic Management Corporation. While there is great value in the idea behind Aarto as tool to promote road, the devil is in the detail.

You are cordially invited to an ITSSA Webinar by Adv Neil Louwrens of TMT and well-known expert in e-Law Enforcement, discussing Aarto from an ITS perspective and what the implications are. Attendance is free, but registration is essential.

Date: Tuesday 17 November

Understanding the post-Covid transport experience in Johannesburg

GoMetro has been tasked by the City of Johannesburg to understand the employer experience post-COVID as the City tries to keep Rea Vaya operating and project demand going forward.

We are trying to understand how employers requirements have changed in the JHB area in three important ways – business relocation/closure of offices (drop in demand to travel), job cuts (drop in demand to travel), WFH (drop in demand to travel). Our findings will feed into determining what the current and future passenger demand in public transport in Johannesburg is and will be.

It will take 10 min to fill out – if you are an employer and have an office in Johannesburg, please fill this out.

I would really appreciate your participation in this survey. We have a real path to change policy and change the way transport is organized in SA cities – but I really need the private sector perspective.

Build better back…
