Core Functions
An awareness of the RTMC is an important precursor to our efforts to change the hearts and minds of the citizens of the country to voluntarily obey the law and respect the rights and needs of other road users
The RTMC Act provides for ten (10) functional areas, as agreed to by the Shareholders Committee
These 10 functional areas or units are as follow and are sub units of the two main core units:
- Training of traffic personnel
- Road traffic information
- Accident investigations and recording thereof
- Communication and education
- Infrastructure safety audits
- Road traffic law enforcement
- Vehicle registration and licensing
- Vehicle and roadworthiness testing
- Testing and licensing of drivers
- Administrative adjudication of road traffic offences (AARTO)
Recognizing the importance of the regulation of public transport and road traffic to the development, safety and quality of life of all South Africans, the purpose for which the RTMC was established is:
- To enhance the overall quality of road traffic management and service provision
- To strengthen the cooperation and coordination between the national, provincial and local spheres of government in the management of road traffic
- To maximize the effectiveness of provincial and local government efforts, particularly in road traffic law enforcement
- To create business opportunities, particularly for the previously disadvantaged sectors, to supplement public sector capacity
- To guide and sustain the expansion of private sector investment in road traffic management
