National Department of Transport’s Annual Sector-wide Strategic Planning Session
The National Department of Transport will convene a high-level sector-wide strategic planning session to support the development of an informed, coherent and impactful Annual Performance Plan (APP) for the 2026/27 financial year.
The session will bring together key stakeholders across the transport ecosystem, including the Minister and Deputy Minister of Transport, Provincial MECs for Transport, Heads of Department, CEOs of transport entities, senior management of the Department of Transport, SALGA, academia, and subject matter experts in freight and passenger transport.
This structured and collaborative engagement will provide a platform for robust, evidence-based discussions on:
- Strategic priorities for the transport sector,
- Targeted transport infrastructure investment,
- Improvements in transport operations and service delivery,
- Required policy and legislative reforms, and
- Practical solutions to implementation bottlenecks.
The session will align sector priorities and interventions with government’s commitments outlined in the Medium-Term Development Plan (MTDP) 2025–2029, while assessing current performance and strengthening mechanisms to accelerate service delivery.
Through the active participation of academia and industry experts, the session will ensure that proposed interventions are grounded in research, responsive to conditions on the ground, and capable of delivering sustainable, inclusive and efficient transport outcomes for South Africa.
