Opposition to urban tolling alliance formed

SAVRALA has announced the launch of OUTA (Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance) to address the e-Tolling of Gauteng’s freeways.

In a statement, Savrala said following the anger and outrage against the e-Tolling of Gauteng's freeways, OUTA had been formed to co-ordinate the strategies of a number of organisations and associations that shared a common view about the action.

The launch of OUTA hopes to offer a platform for this and will provide a united front that will lend significant support to the cause.  

“The website, www.outa.co.za, is a concise informative portal and one where organisations can also sign up and display their support accordingly.  It will be dynamic and updated regularly.  In addition, individuals can also lend their support on the ‘support us’ page as well as link through to the OUTA Facebook page to express their concerns, comments and views,” Savrala said in a statement.

“While there are a number of electronic petitions and websites denouncing e-tolling in Gauteng (and these are all very necessary in their respective efforts), this platform is one that will provide clarity around the misleading and ambiguous statements and questions about e-tolling. The public and organisations have a desire and a right to know much more than that which has been 'fed' to them by the authorities.  The Outa.co.za website will also be the platform where updates of the legal challenge will be posted when this is lodged.”

OUTA encourages organisations and the public to take a look and sign up.
