Deputy Minister of PANRB Inspects JMTC to Ensure Data-Based Preparedness for Traffic Flow Services During 2026 Nyepi and Eid Holidays

Bekasi, VIVA – The holiday season for Nyepi Day and Eid al-Fitr in 2026 will rely on the role of personnel in controlling traffic flow. During this period, the Jasa Marga Tollroad Command Center (JMTC) plays a primary role in public transportation services. Monitoring and on-site decision-making are based on the data they possess and manage.

Deputy Minister of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), Purwadi Arianto, inspected the readiness of Jasa Marga Tollroad Command Center personnel in Bekasi on Wednesday (18/3/2026). Purwadi opined that the JMTC personnel’s preparedness to handle the homecoming traffic flow is quite good, especially since this traffic monitoring is technology-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 traffic flow can be effective and efficient,” Purwadi stated after the inspection.

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

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.

Coordination among relevant parties has also been underway to support smooth traffic. “All of this is carried out thanks to coordinated cooperation, both operational cooperation and infrastructure sector cooperation,” Purwadi explained.

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

Purwadi also urged the public to comply with traffic rules and update traffic information from officials or credible communication channels. “We invite the public to actively provide input through official channels as part of improving the quality of public services,” Purwadi concluded.
