The African Association of
Public Transport (UATP), in
collaboration with the
Gauteng Department of
Roads and Transport, the
Gautrain Management
Agency and the
International Association
of Public Transport (UITP)
will host the 3rd UATP
Congress and Exhibition of African Public Transport,
in October 2014, in Johannesburg.
The theme of the congress is ‘Growing Africa Through
An Effective Public Transport System’.
Urban transport plays a major role in the organisation
and management of land use. Therefore, an effective
urban transport system is necessary for the daily activities
of citizens and for the economic growth of cities. There is
a need for planning, regulating, control and organisation
of the public transport sector, illustrating the contribution
that public transport makes to the affluence of cities. The
3rd Congress brings the ‘second Johannesburg
Declaration’ to the attention of African policy-makers and
institutions, highlighting their significant roles in the
implementation of excellent and effective public
transport policies.
The event will showcase global public transport best
practices, enabling key role-players, professionals and
decision makers, from around the world, to exchange
knowledge and skills within a single, neutral and
hospitable environment.
