of Transport Reasons for major under expenditure

43

• Programme 2 - Policy development projects: Savings of R7,1 million due to less outsourcing needed for policy development than budgeted for.

• Programme 3 – Under expenditure of R8,3 million due to a delay in the establishment of the Rail Economic Regulator (under performance of the service provider), and the lengthy process of development of Maritime legislation pertaining to the Maritime Security Co-ordination Centre.

• Programme 4:• PTIF: Due to capacity shortages at host city level for implementation

of projects• Rural transport: Due to delays in technical tendering processes, and

delays in the vetting of suppliers• Transport planning and road infrastructure projects: Capacity

constraints at Provincial level for implementation of projects

Department

of Transport Reasons for major under expenditure

44

• Programme 5 – Freight logistics projects: Savings of R2,7 million against the budget of R10 million allocated for research and scenario planning, due to less outsourcing needed to achieve targets than budgeted for.

• Programme 6 – Public Transport:

• Taxi process: Under expenditure of R30,4 million:Due to delays by Provinces to account for funding provided for the conversion of permits, and delays in finalising the colour coding for taxi vehicles by Provinces

• Taxi process: Under expenditure on scrapping of old taxi vehicles R252,5 million:Late starting of the scrapping process because of initial delays in finalising safety specifications of new taxi vehicles

• Programme 7: Under expenditure of R14 million due to capacity constraints in the Department of Transport for starting the process of restructuring of the Road Accident Fund.
