  1. TRANSPORT PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE: BRIEFING ON THE ROAD MAINTENANCE FUNDING PLAN 02 November 2010

  2. Presentation Outline • Background • SA road network • Road maintenance allocations • Budget & expenditure for CAPEX and maintenance per province for EPWP • EPWP Up Scaling Allocations per Province • Challenges • Progress • Strategic interventions • Resolutions of the road construction and maintenance summit • Conclusion

  3. Background

  4. South African Road Network (Status Quo of roads) Un-Proclaimed Roads = Public roads not formally maintained by any Authority

  5. SUMMARY OF ROAD NETWORK (Status Quo of roads)

  6. Road maintenance allocations…..

  7. BUDGET & EXPENDITURE FOR CAPEX AND MAINTENANCE PER PROVINCE FOR EPWP 08/09

  8. EPWP Up Scaling Allocations per Province over the 2010 MTEF (DORA)

  9. Challenges • DoT’s mandate is limited to working on National Roads assets • DoT as the lead Department is not sufficiently resourced • Most existing roads have exceeded their design life • Construction and upgrading of rural access roads is not fast enough. • The critical requirement is a decision support system (pavement asset management system) at local and municipal level • Input into the pavement asset management system has to be ongoing • The overall level of road funding is lagging. This implies that backlogs are created rather than addressed.

  10. Strategic Interventions • National Infrastructure Maintenance Strategy (NIMS) • Headed by National Treasury (CIDB). The Following Challenges being addressed by NIMS • Asset Management Practices • Norms and Standards • Budget constraints and backlog • Skills Capacity • Institutional arrangements • Construction and Maintenance Summit (May 2010) • Fiscal and non fiscal funding options • Asset preservation – Guidelines and best practice (RISFSA) • Efficiency Outcomes /Performance based • Development of Women Enterprises in Transport (SANWIT) • Road Safety • Minister announcement re: dedicated roads funding from fuel levy

  11. PROGRESS

  12. Delivery models Funding and asset management systems Capacity development BEE and women empowerment Road safety resolution of the road construction and maintenance summit:

  13. Construction and maintenance summit resolutions and progress…. Delivery model resolutions: Progress Department is developing a flagship national programme for the creation of jobs and maintenance of infrastructure. (SSP) Up scaling of Zibambele across the country Up scaling funds should be directed to access roads Creations of more jobs to attract EPWP incentive funding Provide infrastructure cost effectively

  14. Possible benefits from a National Rollout of Zibambele

  15. Construction and maintenance summit resolutions and progress…. Sustainable funding: Progress Restructuring of Infrastructure Grant to Provinces process now underway providing scope for funding and budgeting process reforms to be considered including measures to address efficiency of spending by authorities Discussions with National Treasury re: DOT responsible for the Infrastructure Grant to Provinces which should enable establishment of a fully fledged national programme, maximising decent job creation Engagement with National Treasury: developing a framework for DOT to take full responsibility for Infrastructure Grants for Provinces in order to address the resolutions • Dedicated funding from fuel levy • Budget increases and capacity need to be phased in. • Need to ensure allocated budgets are spent on roads

  16. Construction and maintenance summit resolutions and progress…. Asset management system resolution Progress/process to date MOU with DBSA to deal with : - Asset management system - Funding model - Sector skills - Review of roll-out of ITPN’s Implementation of NIMS - Mechanism for enforcing through MINMEC and COTO to be developed • Development of an asset management framework • Need to ensure that portion of budget is allocated for Preventative Maintenance • Need to ensure that portion (at least 60%) of maintenance budgets are allocated for preventative maintenance (routine and periodic)

  17. Conclusion • Present allocations should be streamlined to achieve effectiveness • DoT to streamline a flagship programme: • Key regional economic routes / NATMAP • Rural transport development • Labour intensive roll-out • Road safety • DoT to develop implementation proposals with provinces to seek funding • DoT to refocus from policy development to implementation coordination
