Jasa Raharja Records Decline in Road Accident Figures During 2026 Eid al-Fitr Period
Jasa Raharja has recorded a decline in road accident numbers during the 2026 Eid al-Fitr Alert period, which took place from 13 to 22 March 2026. This data indicates a positive trend in efforts to enhance transportation safety, particularly during the homecoming and return flow periods.
Based on data compiled with Korlantas Polri, the number of road accidents during that period was recorded at 2,119 incidents, down approximately 2% from the same period in the 2025 Eid al-Fitr Alert, which reached 2,179 incidents.
In terms of victims, the total number of accident victims during the 2026 Eid al-Fitr Alert period was recorded at 3,597 people, also experiencing a 2% decline compared to the previous year, which reached 3,684 people.
A significant decline was seen in the number of fatalities, recorded at 190 people, down 28% from the previous year’s 266 people. Meanwhile, the number of injured victims was recorded at 3,407 people, relatively stable with a slight 0.3% decrease.
Jasa Raharja’s President Director, Muhammad Awaluddin, stated that the decline in road accidents during the 2026 Eid al-Fitr period is the result of a combination of several key factors.
“First, the strengthening of traffic engineering management carried out by Korlantas Polri, including more distributed homecoming flow arrangements. The work-from-anywhere policy announced by the government well in advance also had a significant impact in helping to even out this year’s homecoming flow,” said Awaluddin in a written statement on Tuesday (24/3/2026).
Second, there was an increase in infrastructure readiness, both toll roads and arterial roads, as well as supporting facilities such as rest areas and Integrated Service Posts, which helped reduce driver fatigue during homecoming trips.
He said that third, the intensification of transportation safety campaigns carried out by the Ministry of Transportation, Korlantas Polri, and all stakeholders, including Jasa Raharja, contributed to this.
“In addition, we also see an increase in public awareness to drive more orderly and cautiously,” Awaluddin explained.
To date, road accidents are still dominated by two-wheeled vehicles (R2), generally caused by fatigue due to insufficient rest time, as well as low compliance in maintaining safe distances. This condition is a serious concern due to the high fatality risk it poses.
“Therefore, BUMN and Danantara, together with 96 BUMNs including Jasa Raharja, continue to push for a reduction in R2 accident numbers through various preventive efforts, one of which is by diverting to safer public transportation modes through the Free Homecoming programme,” he clarified.
He hopes that in the future, the public will become increasingly aware of prioritising safety by choosing safer modes of transportation and remaining disciplined in driving.
More than just numerical achievements, every reduction in fatalities reflects the presence of the state in protecting its citizens. Jasa Raharja believes that safety is a shared responsibility, and every life saved is a tangible manifestation of humane, responsive, and sustainable service.
He stated that this is further strengthened through the implementation of Zero Pending Claims, as an effort to ensure that every compensation right for accident victims can be settled quickly, accurately, and without delay. Up to 22 March, Jasa Raharja has disbursed compensation amounting to Rp 9.5 billion to 190 victims/heirs, as a tangible manifestation of the state’s presence when it is most needed.
“This spirit aligns with the commitment to deliver Comfortable Homecoming Together and Comfortable Eid Together, as efforts to provide journeys that are not only safe but also give a sense of security and peace to the entire community,” he concluded.
