1. CITY SUPPORT PROGRAMME
Presentation to City of Johannesburg
Implementing Transit Oriented Development
Workshop
National Government’s role in
supporting transit oriented
development
8 October 2013

2. Why support Transit oriented development ?
• Spatial transformation
• spatial efficiencies
– Reducing trip times
– Reducing car based transport system
– Promoting non motorised system
• Promoting a more sustainable public transport system ( improved
densities etc)
• Facilitating private sector investment ( business, households)
• Improving financing systems for public transport – local taxation; capture
of land value improvements

3. What is National Governments role?
• Policy development and legislation for public transport more broadly –
that is supportive of TOD
• Appropriate grant funding mechanisms
– Capital funding
– Operational funding
• Development of guidelines and standards
• Facilitating the functional devolution
• Implementation Support

•Transfer human settlements,
public transport and spatial
planning functions to cities,
while promoting a spatial
restructuring and enhancing
service delivery
Functional

•Enhancing access to capital
finance by cities, through direct
borrowings land-based
financing options and a
performance-focussed fiscal
system
Financing
•Strengthened strategic planning and
financing
•Econ growth and job creation
•Protect the interests of poor and
vulnerable groups in the development
process;
•Fight corruption and enhance value for
money

5. Cities Support Programme & TOD
Public Transport is one of 5 components of CSP
– CSP works with NT Public Finance and DOT
• Re-assignment of function to local government as a key built
environment function (Transport & Housing)
• Look at Public Transport within context of IRPTN
– 2013 Integrated City Development Grant Guidelines – Urban Networks
Strategy (NT- NDP)
• The Urban Networks Strategy is a transit oriented approach to
investment planning, development and management in urban
precincts. Its focus is on strategic spatial transformation that
optimises access to social and economic opportunities for all and
especially the poor. It aims to work towards a more efficient urban
environment that enables economic growth and development .
- Functional alignment between Public Transport and other sectors eg
Housing

6. UNS TOD: VIBRANT URBAN HUBS ARE KEY
ENTRY POINTS
• High density, mixed use precinct that contains a diverse variety of land
uses, services and activities
• Function:
– “Town centre” for township/s
– Gateway to the rest of the wider urban area
• Efficient multi-modal public transport system & a precinct network
of public spaces and walkways
• Leveraging of investment:
– Retail
– Recreation, hospitality & tourism
– Offices, banking
– Community facilities & govt services
– Higher density housing
• Within an urban design framework that promotes
a vibrant sense of place in which to live, work and play 6

7. Framework for CSP support for urban
mobility and accessibility
7
Goal An effective and sustainable urban mobility and access system that serves the needs of
all residents and of the economy and is integrated with a mutually reinforcing land use
management system.
Outcomes Metropolitan institutional
capacity to plan, regulate
and coordinate the urban
mobility and access
system in place.
Resourcing arrangements in
place that enable the
incremental improvement of
urban mobility and access on
a sustainable basis.
Arrangements to ensure
consolidation and better
integration of different
transport modes in place.
Outputs 1.1 Metropolitan urban
mobility leadership and
management teams
strengthened.
1.2 Grant and metropolitan fiscal
architecture re-configured to
provide adequate and
balanced fiscal resources for
public transport capital and
operating needs.
1.3 Regulatory system applicable
to minibus taxis improved to
ensure better services and
better alignment with other
modes and transport plans.
2.1 Properly structured
institutional
arrangements in each
metropolitan
municipality in place for
mobility planning,
regulation and
operations.
2.2 Land use management
instruments to support
densification along major
public transport network
corridors and enhanced
capture of land value
increases for public
transport developed.
2.3 Commuter rail planning and
operational coordination
integrated within
metropolitan system.
3.1 Assignment of required
functions and associated
fiscal flows completed.
3.2 National mechanisms in place
to strengthen metropolitan
capacity to manage urban
mobility responsibilities.
3.3 Improved private and public
transport alignment and
efficiencies through adoption of
smart systems coupled with

8. Interventions
– Diagnostic report on Public Transport and Land use management
and Joint Workshop with SACN in 2012
– Spatial Targeting Workshop
– Nov 2013 Transport Leadership Intervention - Outcome: Understand
the urban mobility challenge and the role of leaders in driving change
– Integrated City Development Grant
– Project Preparation Facility
Proposed Interventions
Redesigning of grants with greater emphasis on supporting mobility
Initiate action research linked to pilots in selected metros :
– good practice instruments to enhance densification and land use
management along the IRPTN corridors
– Secure revenue for public transport from the capture of land value
improvements
