The JB Marks Local Municipality’s Department of Community Safety, Roads and Transport Management is hosting the AARTO Rollout Awareness event today, Friday, 31 October 2025, at Trimpark, Potchefstroom, starting at 09h00.
This important session marks the final activity of Transport Month 2025 and invites motorists, public transport operators, and community members to come together in learning about the implementation of the new Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) system. The initiative supports the municipality’s mission to strengthen road safety education, public compliance, and accountability for all road users.
Empowering Drivers Through Awareness
The AARTO system introduces a modern, fair, and transparent process for managing traffic offences through a demerit-based points system. Today’s event will help residents understand how this new system affects drivers, vehicle owners, and transport operators, and what it means for maintaining a clean driving record.
Municipal leaders, including Cllr. Leon Moses Mthabele and Cllr. Thabo Macdonald Moilatswi, will engage directly with the public, explaining how the AARTO rollout contributes to reducing road accidents, improving discipline among drivers, and promoting safer transport practices throughout the JB Marks region.
The session also concludes a successful series of Transport Month activities, such as Driving and Walking Awareness campaigns held in Potchefstroom and Ventersdorp earlier this week, all reinforcing the importance of safety, awareness, and shared responsibility on the road.
Summary
Community members are encouraged to participate in today’s AARTO Rollout Awareness event and take an active role in shaping a safer road environment. Through awareness, education, and collaboration, JB Marks continues to drive positive change on local roads.
Let’s work together toward safer journeys, responsible driving, and a future where every road user contributes to a culture of safety and respect.
