Our Legislative Mandate

The C-BRTA is established in terms of C-BRT Act No. 4 of 1998

The primary reason for the Agency’s existence is to license Cross Border operators and to execute the following mandate:

To eliminate impediments in the flow of passengers and freight by road across regional borders
To introduce regulated competition in cross-border passenger transport
To liberalise market access in the cross-border freight transport
To reduce operational constraints for the cross-border road transport industry
To enhance and strengthen the capacity of public sector; and
To build industry partnerships and to empower the cross-border road transport industry.

Furthermore, the Agency is geared towards achieving the strategic intent of the SADC Protocol on Transport, Communication and Meteorology.
