Inaugural lecture--Department of Transport Economics, Rand Afrikaans University, 13 October 1987@@The need for adequate transport services and infrastructure is axiomatic with economic development, growth and social stability. The urgency of the problems facing South Africa calls for a rationalization and transformation of our priorities in many spheres. The role of transportation as a basic service industry and as a catalyst for change is, however, not fully recognised. The Department of Transport Economics has since its establishment identified the positive and pro-active functions of transportation and has accepted it as the cornerstone of its academic, research and community service programmes. Against this outline, a case is presented for more intensive employment and use of transport economists and transport economics in both the policy formulation process as well as in the evaluation thereof to ensure improved future planning and decision making.
