Progress on Phased AARTO National Rollout

In July 2021 the phased AARTO National Rollout Programme was announced by the Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) with an indication that it will span from 01 July 2021. In that statement, it was pointed out that the last phase of the Rollout Programme will wrap up the entire implementation by 01 July 2022 with the Points Demerit System and Driver Rehabilitation Programmes being introduced.  The phased rollout approach being the first of its kind in South Africa and the continent is progressing as planned, simultaneously addressing system challenges and dependencies that accompany such a critical road safety intervention. Phase 1, from July to September 2021, has seen the RTIA increase its national footprint through the implementation of seven (7) AARTO service outlets and online services such as the AARTO website and deployment of the AARTO mobile application. 

AARTO insights: Points demerit system coming in 2022 once systems and processes are finalised

AARTO insights: Points demerit system coming in 2022 once systems and processes are finalised By Motoring Staff Share JOHANNESBURG - The Automobile Association (AA) says that it’s pleased that government has heeded calls to clarify issues relating to the implementation of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO), but says no real application of the system can occur until the system’s regulations are promulgated. “Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has announced a phased-in approach to the roll-out of AARTO but these phases can really only be implemented once the regulations are finalised and enacted. This process may delay the final implementation of the system scheduled for July 2022,” says the AA.
