JAKARTA - The National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) has evaluated the work from anywhere (WFA) policy which is considered effective in reducing traffic density during the 2025 Christmas and New Year holidays (Nataru). The policy is now being considered for re-implementation during the upcoming Lebaran homecoming and return flow.
The National Police Deputy Chief, Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, said that his party together with related stakeholders would review the implementation of WFA as one of the traffic control strategies in the implementation of the Ketupat Operation.
"So for example, we have discussed with the Minister of Transportation. Later, during the Ketupat Operation, we will think about what days work from anywhere is enforced," he said at the South Sentul Police Post, Bogor, West Java, Sunday, January 4.
According to Agus, in addition to WFA, limiting three-axle vehicles is also an important policy in maintaining safety and traffic flow, especially during the long national holidays.
"We make sure that the vehicle is safe, the road is safe, including the driver. This is part of the dynamics of managing the homecoming and return flow, both during the Nataru and the readiness to face the Lebaran Operation," he said.
Agus explained that the WFA policy is actually part of a long-term study to break down the surge in vehicle volume. With more flexible working hours, people's travel flows can be spread out and not accumulate at certain times.
"With WFA, we can predict when the flow is decomposed. Traffic counting on the road can also be more controlled," he explained.
The National Police Traffic Directorate hopes that the combination of WFA policies, restrictions on heavy vehicles, and proper traffic engineering can further improve the safety and smoothness of the Lebaran homecoming this year.
