The Committee of Roads and Transport in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature hosted and heard presentations from the different Gauteng municipalities centered around the establishment of the Transport Authority Gauteng (TAG).

The Committee welcomed the establishment of TAG and the support it has from the different municipalities of Gauteng through resolutions from municipal councils.

This in effect paves way for a cross- municipal boundary integration of public transport that promises solutions that are modern, reliable, affordable, efficient in the Gauteng Global Region by 2030.

The Committee has urged TAG to speed up the process of appointing board members who will ensure governance and accountability prevails from the Authority’s early stages of formation and onwards.

The committee has further requested the Department of Roads and Transport to ensure TAG is considered for adequate funding in the next financial periods in order for the Authority to fully execute its mandates.
