Dear Operators

Please be informed that due to the impact of COVID-19 and the need to limit the number of employees at our office, the permit office is operating with limited staff who work on a rotational basis. This might affect our turnaround times with delays in processing permit applications.

The C-BRTA appeals to operators to be patient and we do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Operators will be kept informed of any new developments.

The Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (C-BRTA) exists to improve the cross-border flow of commuters and freight operators who make use of road transport.

Its function as an interstate operations agency is to reduce mobility constraints for road transport operators, in the form of regulating market access and issuing cross-border permits, while facilitating sustainable social and economic development in the Southern African Development Community region.
