Abstract

The study is based on 12 organisations which, according to the paper, are stakeholders within the transport sector. The study argues that until these organisations pay attention to socio-economic factors which also fall under the indicators of sustainable transport, they will see no progression of sustainability of transport sector in South Africa. The mandate of these organisations is mostly found in a company/organisation's mission and vision statements, strategic plan, sustainable reports, etc.
