Indonesia Boosts Transport Safety Through Police-Toll Road Corporation Synergy

An expert advisor to the Indonesian National Police stated that strengthening the cooperation between the Traffic Corps (Korlantas) and the state-owned toll road operator Jasa Marga is key to realizing a safe transportation system for the public. This synergy is pointed out as extremely important in reducing the incidence of traffic accidents and ensuring the safe mobility of the people. Close cooperation between the two institutions is expected to lead to improved traffic management efficiency and enhanced safety of road infrastructure. In Indonesia, with population growth and economic development, the number of vehicles has been increasing, making traffic congestion and accidents a serious social issue. Traffic safety measures, especially in major urban areas and on main roads, are directly related to the quality of public life. This statement by the expert advisor can be interpreted as a call to strengthen traffic safety measures through public-private partnerships, considering this background. Korlantas is responsible for enforcing traffic laws and managing traffic, while Jasa Marga is involved in the construction, maintenance, and operation of toll roads. Information sharing and joint implementation of safety measures by both could lead to more effective traffic safety. Source: Sindonews
