Improving the transportation accessibility of the Ellis park for all people of Johannesburg and specially the previously disadvantaged communities

[摘要] The previously disadvantaged communities of Greater Johannesburg generally rely onpubllc transport to get from place to place. Disabled people, who can be considered tobe part of the previously disadvantaged community, often do not have any form oftransport 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. Thisproject report provides details of the truffle and transportation management plans that have been implemented and then recummends/suggests various transportation options thatcould improve the transportation accessibility of the Precinct for these previously disadvantaged communities.
