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.
