An interview with Dr Mathetha Mokonyama, CSIR Competence Area Manager for Transport Systems and Operations and Dr Paul Mokilane, CSIR Senior Statistician and Acting Research Group Leader: Data Science.

 

The 2019/20 Gauteng General Household Travel Survey reports on general travel and mobility patterns in Gauteng from a household perspective.

The analysis reveals valuable insights to understanding trip-making patterns, accessibility to modes of mobility, including public transport services, and further illustrates a barometer to measure government socio-economic investment programme and priorities against legislated transport policy objectives.

Travel survey insights are critical inputs to professionals in that they influence demand forecasting, transport modelling and policy analysis; whereas for government, it forms part of decision-support tools to inform the allocation, planning, and management of transport infrastructure and services.
