DKI Provincial Government Prohibits Civil Servants from Using Official Vehicles for Mudik Eid Travel
PEMPROV DKI Jakarta has prohibited civil servants (ASN) from using official vehicles for personal purposes during the national holiday and joint leave periods coinciding with Nyepi Holy Day and Eid al-Fitr mudik travel in 2026 (1447 Hijri).
The prohibition is outlined in Provincial Secretary Circular Number 13/SE/2026, issued on 13 March 2026, and is addressed to all civil servants within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
The circular stipulates that official vehicles cannot be used for activities outside official business purposes, including 2026 Eid mudik travel or holidays. “Civil servants who violate this prohibition will be subject to disciplinary sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations,” stated DKI Jakarta Provincial Secretary Uus Kuswanto in the circular released on Sunday (15 March).
The circular clarifies that civil servants are prohibited from using either official position vehicles or operational official vehicles for personal purposes such as mudik travel, holidays, or other activities unrelated to official business during national holidays and joint leave periods.
The policy is based on Article 13 of Governor’s Regulation Number 119 of 2020 concerning Management of Official Vehicles, as amended by Governor’s Regulation Number 27 of 2022.
Additionally, the circular implements the Anti-Corruption Commission Leadership Circular Number 2 of 2026 regarding corruption prevention and gratification control related to religious holidays.
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) has confirmed the readiness of its services for customers during the 2026 Eid transportation season. The government has also prepared various facilities and infrastructure to support smooth traffic flow during the mudik season.
PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk projects approximately 3.53 million vehicles will pass through Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang toll exits via four main toll gates.
The regulation contrasts with some local variations in implementation. Lumajang Regent Indah Amperawati has permitted civil servants to use official vehicles for 2026 Eid mudik, though on the condition that all expenses are covered privately. Similarly, Depok Mayor Supian Suri has authorised such use, though this has prompted a warning from provincial officials. The Ministry of Home Affairs has expressed concern that such vehicle use constitutes a violation of applicable regulations and ethical standards.
