The Department of Roads and Transport is responsible for maximising the contribution of roads and transport to the economic and social development goals of the society by facilitating and providing fully integrated transport operations and infrastructure.
The Department of Transport is the custodian of national policies on roads infrastructure and transport. The White Paper on National Transport Policy has provided the basis for a fundamental shift in the government’s role, but at the same time, the White Paper provides for the scaling down of governmental involvement in transport operations and in the provision of infrastructure and services, to allow for a more competitive environment. The latter services are now being provided by armslength agencies outside of Government the National Roads Agency Limited.
The Department of Roads and Transport is guided by national policies aimed at transforming the Public Service, such as the Service Delivery (Batho Pele) and Transformation White Papers. In addition to this, the department is bound to work within the prevailing transversal regulatory framework, including the Public Service Act, 1994, the Public Finance Management Act, 1999, and the Skills Development Act, 1998.
