JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta DPRD Parking Special Committee (Pansus) has again conducted an inspection of the illegal off-street parking location.

Today, inspections were carried out in four locations. Among them are the East Sentra Apartment in Pulo Gebang with parking operator PT Duta Selaras Solusindo, BSI Campus Pemuda University in Rawamangun with operators of the BSI Rawamangun Foundation, the Liga Pengadegan Language Institute Building with the Kopkar operator of the Liara Language Foundation, and the Cikini Gold Center with operator PT Rodial Indonesia.

The four parking locations were immediately sealed and put on stickers by the DKI Transportation Agency. The sealed parking gate is prohibited from operating at this time.

"The four lands are not licensed. Second, they (parking operators) use land owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," said Chairman of the Jakarta DPRD Parking Special Committee Jupiter after inspection at Cikini Gold Center, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, October 1.

Based on Jupiter's calculations, of the four illegal managed parking locations by this private operator, the DKI Provincial Government has lost tax revenue of up to IDR 70 billion per year.

This value does not include unlicensed parking operators that have not been sealed by the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency in all areas of Jakarta. Jupiter estimates that the total potential lost regional income will reach trillions of rupiah.

"The potential loss, I believe, is increasing in Jakarta. The potential for local revenue from the parking sector and also from the rental sector for the land of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, which should be the original regional income, can be more than IDR 1.4 trillion," explained Jupiter.

"In addition to (loss tax revenue) from Bapenda, there was also a leak from the land lease of the asset body. The land of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has enormous potential. When used by irresponsible people, of course this is very detrimental to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," he added.

Supposedly, if the parking tax in Jakarta can be managed and collected optimally, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government can maximize it in carrying out community welfare programs.

"We can use the income from the parking sector for infrastructure, health, KJP, KJMU, food subsidies for vulnerable families. It can also be used for public school development, which is currently still being complained about," he said.
