The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) is excited to announce its participation in the sixth annual Smarter Mobility Africa summit from 2 to 4 October 2024 at the Gallagher Convention Centre as part of the City of Johannesburg’s Transport Month calendar.
The JRA will highlight its commitment to smart, sustainable, and inclusive mobility solutions that contribute to economic growth, job creation, and an improved quality of life for residents of Johannesburg.
The summit will feature a range of discussions and presentations on the latest trends and innovations in smart mobility, with a particular focus on the role of technology in addressing the challenges of urbanisation and sustainable development in Africa.
JRA CEO Zweli Nyathi will represent the agency in a roundtable discussion on “Solutions for Preventing Road Crashes & Universally Accessible Streets”. He will share the JRA’s approach to harnessing private sector partnerships in support of service delivery in Johannesburg. The agency is committed to investing in infrastructure upgrades, implementing innovative technologies, and promoting community-led initiatives to improve road safety and accessibility for all.
“We believe that smart mobility is essential for creating a more sustainable and equitable future for Johannesburg. By embracing technology and working together with our partners, we can build a city where everyone can move freely and safely,” says Nyathi.
To address key service delivery challenges through smart mobility solutions, the JRA will use the Smarter Mobility Africa summit to call for proposals in four key focus areas:
Focus Area 1: Theft, vandalism, and accidents affecting the functioning of traffic lights.
Focus Area 2: Supply, delivery, and maintenance of on-road traffic sensors and detectors for improved road traffic management.
Focus Area 3: Sustainable power supply to traffic signals, mitigating fossil fuel dependency and power outages.
Focus Area 4: Road safety systems and alternatives.
