Abstract
The previously disadvantaged communities of Greater Johannesburg generally rely on
publlc transport to get from place to place. Disabled people, who can be considered to
be part of the previously disadvantaged community, often do not have any form of
transport available to them at all. People from these communities wishing to attend an
event at the Ellis Park Precinct would either have to use the existing public transport or make their own transport arrangements.
Traffic and transportation management plans have been implemented at the Ellis Park
Precinct with the intention of ensuring the Precinct's transportation accessibility for all the people of Greater Johannesburg, but the needs of the previously disadvantaged
communities, who are captive to public transport, were not formally provided for. This
project report provides details of the truffle and transportation management plans that
have been implemented and then recummends/suggests various transportation options that
could improve the transportation accessibility of the Precinct for these previously
disadvantaged communities.
