The City of Johannesburg has approved a comprehensive Transport Master Plan (TMP) for the Randburg and Zandspruit areas.

This strategic plan, developed by the Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA), the Transport Department and consultants led by Merchelles Collective, addresses transport challenges and aims to create a more efficient, compact urban form.

Its key features include a ten-year strategic plan, with the TMP to guide public- and private-sector investments, focusing on improving the transport system and urban environment.

The goal is to promote productive land use and economic activities in areas with existing or planned transport infrastructure.

The masterplan is also aimed at making public transport a viable alternative, ensuring residents live close to work, shopping and leisure opportunities, thereby reducing the environmental impact and reliance on private cars.

The plan also features environmental benefits. By promoting a high-density urban area, the TMP is expected to lower the demand for private motorised transport and shorten average trip lengths. This will, in turn, save residents time and money on public transport.

The City and the JDA say they are committed to prioritising non-motorised transport, creating a well-connected public transport system that reduces the use of private cars.
