​The Department has committed to using its R8.75 billion to catalyse its contribution to the Gauteng's economic recovery efforts post the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has allocated R2,5 billion towards the provision of road infrastructure projects from Planning, Design, Construction and Maintenance; R2.9 billion set aside for transport operations, whilst Gautrain Management agency gets R2,45 billion for operational expenses and subsidies.  
On the need for prudent and responsible spending, MEC Jacob Mamabolo remarked that "as part of safeguarding these funds and ensuring that the people of our province get value for money, we have appointed an independent, reputable legal firm with extensive experience in contract law to help us manage time, costs, and quality as the critical components of transport infrastructure delivery". 
He said the Compliance Office, located in the Transport Infrastructure House (TIH), serves a platform create to resolve, troubleshoot and unblock project delivery pipeline. He added that through the TIH, the Department has a bird's eye view of processes taking place in both Roads and Transport branches, but also that of other units playing a critical supporting role in pursuit of the Department's mandate.
Employing the latest smart technology including drones, project management dashboards and service level agreements, the Compliance Office is an integral part of contract management system and will serve to enhance performance management of all service providers throughout the delivery pipeline. 
"This office is already helping us fast-track delivery through accountability and real-time monitoring," added the MEC.
