organisational structure, whereupon it will implement all the outstanding phases of the AARTO Roll Out. The AARTO Roll Out prospects are also heightened by the strong financial performance which the Agency at the end of the year under review. The Year Ahead The Agency will focus on the AARTO phases as follows: Phase II, is planned to be rolled out in 69 Local and Metropolitan municipalities. Phase III, is planned to be rolled out in the remaining 144 municipalities and Phase IV, will see the introduction of the demerit points system and the rehabilitation programme during the 2024/2025 financial year. In addition, the Agency also plans to participate in the transgression model laws initiated by the Tripartite Transport Transit Facilitation Programme (TTTFP), to integrate law en- forcement and adjudication processes of South Africa in the SADAC and COMESA regions. These model laws seek to introduce the decriminalisation of traffic law enforcement in the region and the introduction of a common adjudication system similar to the AARTO programme, across all participating member states. The participation of the Agency in these

processes will ensure that the Agency is able to introduce strategies of effecting enforcement orders, demerit points and rehabilitation to foreign drivers. Acknowledgement I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors for providing leadership as well as Management and staff for their hard work and support.
