Smart Licensing Centre launched in Atteridgeville, Gauteng

The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport, in collaboration with the Gautrain Management Agency (GMA), inaugurated the Atteridgeville Smart Licensing Centre in Tshwane on Wednesday, 20 March.

This Licensing Centre aims to revolutionise licensing distribution services by incorporating cutting-edge technology while prioritising efficiency, convenience, professionalism, and community engagement.

ATTERIDGEVILLE SMART LICENSING CENTRE ENHANCES SERVICE DELIVERY

Strategically located in Atteridgeville, the Smart Licensing Centre aims to enhance service delivery within or near townships, informal settlements, and hostels (TISH), thereby catering to a broader segment of the population.

The launch of the Smart Licensing Centre represents a significant milestone in advancing towards a more intelligent and streamlined approach to licensing processes.

According to SA News, licence renewals are estimated to take only about 10 minutes, indicating a substantial increase in the number of people served within a short timeframe. This efficiency aligns with the broader vision of “Growing Gauteng Together” through the Smart Mobility Plan.

Furthermore, the Smart Licensing Centre features solar power capabilities, ensuring uninterrupted service provision even during periods of load shedding.

This commitment to sustainability underscores the forward-thinking approach of the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport (GDRT) in addressing the evolving needs of its communities.

Moreover, this dedication to sustainability shows how the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport (GDRT) is forward-thinking in meeting the needs of its communities.
