In land transport, attention is directed towards vehicle supervision and the control of freight transport. The government is also preparing programmes related to connectivity and transport services in regions that are not yet fully served.
These programmes include the implementation of the Zero ODOL (Over Dimension Over Loading) policy in 2027. Additionally, pioneer transport and the development of mass transport systems are part of the land sector’s agenda.
“The Directorate General of Land Transportation for the land transport sector is focused on three main groups, namely the safety and security of land transport, with priorities including activities to support the implementation of Zero ODOL in 2027. Regarding land transport services, the government is maintaining connectivity in areas requiring pioneer services through several pioneer transport routes, pioneer crossings, pioneer freight, as well as national strategic area transport,” said Dudting.
In the sea and air sectors, operational supervision is a vital part of the safety programme. Inspections of transport facilities are conducted to ensure that services used by the public meet applicable regulations.
Strengthening safety systems is accompanied by the development of supporting infrastructure. Navigation tools, port facilities, airports, and flight supervision are all included in the Ministry of Transportation’s 2027 work agenda.
“For the Directorate General of Sea Transportation, the transport sector is focused on three main priority groups, namely the safety and security of shipping, which includes ramp checks and the improvement of maritime navigation and telecommunications aids. Sea transport services involve maintaining connectivity through services such as pioneer sea transport and the Sea Toll programme. Furthermore, for sea connectivity infrastructure, activities include the construction, development, improvement, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of port facilities,” said Dudy.
