Conclusions and Comments
38
Comment Transport, Ports, Safety and security

• Ports of entry - Security versus transport
  capacity
• Airports OK (?) Land transport around
  airports ? Will the airports handle the 155 000
  pass / day on peak days ?
• Expect large number of visitors from neighbouring
  states Capacity of Border posts a problem
• Integrated planning between Safety Security and
  Transport officials nothing done to date ?
• Taxi industry how are they integrated ?

39
Comments Operational Plans

• DOT has not made updated guidelines available
• Detailed plans have not yet been developed
• How we handle any incident will be the ultimate
  test of success (and what will be remembered)
• We need fall back plans for the fall back plans -
  Who, what, when, where and what thereafter
• Need to start testing ? (Do dry runs)
• Need continuity on development and implementation
• of operational plans (same service providers
  from 2007 to 2010 per city)

40
Comments General

• The cities are well progressed with planning
  ensuring timeous implementation of transport
  infrastructure will be the challenge
• Too much focus on legacy infrastructure ?
• What are the unknowns we need to resolve
• Cut off point for start of infrastructure
  implementation

41
SWC 2010 Scorecard

• A preliminary scorecard was developed and rated
• Rating is based on perception of committee
  following the July 2007 Symposium
• Need to develop KPIs to do a rigorous
  assessment of ongoing progress
• Need internal critical review of all transport
  plans

Recommendations (cont.)
