34th Annual Southern African Transport Conference SATC 2015

The 34th Southern African Transport Conference (SATC 2015), supported by the South African Department of Transport and the Transportation Research Board of the USA, will take place from Monday 6 July to Thursday 9 July 2024 at the CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa.

The conference theme, Transport: Working together to deliver, reflects the importance of transport in fostering employment and economic growth. The conference will focus on how to optimally engage all stakeholders involved in the transport sector to provide effective and efficient transportation solutions and to improve service delivery in order to better respond as a sector to the needs of all users of our transport systems.

The conference provides a platform for national and international dialogue on transport as a socio-economic development priority. It also serves as a forum for discussion and information exchange on the implementation of transport policy, strategy and technology applications for all aspects and modes of transportation. Better cooperation between and engagement of all public and private sector stakeholders will be one of the key issues that will be debated and for which solutions will be sought and action plans formulated.

Everyone in any way connected with transport is invited. This conference will be of particular interest to funding agencies, municipal, provincial and national government authorities, parastatals, policy- and decision-makers, academics, researchers, students and professionals active in the planning, construction, manufacturing, logistics, operation and safety of passenger and freight transport, road traffic, rail, maritime and aviation. End users will also find the conference of interest. A special session will be arranged to discuss and debate critical policy issues related to the theme of the conference.
