The Southern African Transport Conference (SATC), held every July in Pretoria, South Africa, is the longest running peer-reviewed transport conference in the region.

I serve on the organizing committee, and since 2015 have convened two of the conference sessions: Integrated Public Transport Networks; and Non-Motorised Transport.

The objectives of the conference are to:

• provide a platform for national and international dialogue on transport as a socio-economic development priority
• serve as a forum for discussion and information exchange on the implementation of transport policy, strategy and technology applications for all aspects and modes of transportation
• foster better cooperation between and engagement of all public and private sector stakeholders so that solutions can be sought and action plans formulated.
