Deputy Minister of PANRB Checks Toll Road Readiness to Handle Traffic During Holidays

Purwadi believes that the preparedness of JMTC personnel in facing the homecoming traffic flow is already quite good, especially since the traffic monitoring is technology- and data-based.

“All decisions taken here are based on data, all systems are integrated, so I am confident that the government’s presence in organising the homecoming flow can be effective and efficient,” said Purwadi in his statement in Jakarta on Wednesday.

The Ministry of PANRB serves as the national coach for public services, including transportation services. This inspection is to assess the readiness of the traffic monitoring and control system during the Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr holiday periods.

Purwadi conveyed that his team wants to ensure that traffic information can be delivered quickly, accurately, and easily accessible to the public. On the other hand, Purwadi also highlighted how Jasa Marga responds to public reports.

“All of this is done thanks to coordinated cooperation, both operational cooperation and infrastructure sector cooperation,” he stated.

Purwadi appreciated the Jasa Marga personnel in maintaining smooth traffic flow. He advised that information to the public must be conveyed quickly, accurately, and easily understood. Jasa Marga, as the operator, is expected to be able to anticipate congestion and minimise traffic disruptions.

He also advised the public to comply with traffic rules and update traffic information from officers or credible communication channels.

“We invite the public to actively provide input through official channels as part of improving the quality of public services,” he concluded.
