The budget allocation of the department is in line with Government's strategic objectives raised in the State-of-the-Nation Address. This is evinced by massive investments in the road, rail and public modes of transport which receive R17.9 billion, R10.2 billion and R9.9 billion respectively. This constitutes 98.46 per cent of the department's budget and it augurs well for the nation's economic growth and job creation. In addition, it will stand the country in good stead for attracting investors and tourists.
