Road Transport Management System

RTMS is an industry–led, government-supported, voluntary, self-regulation scheme that encourages transport operators to implement a management system (a set of standards) that demonstrates compliance with the Road Traffic Regulations and contributes to preserving road infrastructure, improving road safety & increasing productivity.

The RTMS National Standard (SANS 1395-1) has been published by the South Africa Bureau of Standards (SABS) and compliance is assessed by SANAS accredited 3rd party auditors.

In summary, RTMS is a system that voluntarily regulates the transport industry and has achieved significant results in

Reduction of overloading

Preventing Road damage & Preserving our infrastructure

Enhancing the safety of transport vehicles on our national roads

Keeping Drivers & Vehicles Licensed

Reduction of traffic violations (e.g. reducing speeding incidents)

Improving efficiency in supply chains

Actively promoting skills development

In order to become RTMS accredited a company must demonstrate that it has adequately implemented all the requirements of the RTMS standard.
