Reasons for major under expenditure

• 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

44
Department of Transport
Reasons for major under expenditure

• 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.
