JAKARTA - The leadership of Commission V of the DPR has asked ministries/institutions and stakeholders related to the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming to strengthen technical coordination in the field.
Deputy Chairman of Commission V of the DPR, Syaiful Huda, assessed that cooperation between stakeholders is an absolute requirement to avoid transport management failures at the peak of the upcoming Eid al-Fitr homecoming.
"We don't want to see overlapping policies. Don't let the National Police have engineered one way, but on the other hand there is a severe traffic jam at the port or terminal due to the unpreparedness of regulator officers in regulating the departure schedule of the fleet. All K/L must work in one rhythm," said Syaiful Huda to reporters, Tuesday, February 10.
Huda emphasized that the smooth flow of homecoming was not only the responsibility of one institution, but the result of mature orchestration between regulators, law enforcement officers, and infrastructure providers. According to him, the operational readiness of the National Police Traffic Directorate must be fully supported by strategic steps from the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub), the Ministry of Public Works (PU), the Ministry of Health, to the Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT).
"Tourism is the largest mass mobilization in the world in a short time. There should be no sectoral ego. Korlantas maintains the flow in the field, the Ministry of Transportation ensures the legality of the transportation fleet, and PU ensures the stability of the road. If one of these links is weak, then the comfort of the community will be disrupted," he said.
Huda explained that there were three crucial points that must be seriously synchronized by stakeholders of the 2026 Lebaran homecoming. First, there is an integration of management of the flow and fleet of Lebaran homecoming.
"Here, traffic engineering by the National Police must be in line with the management of transportation nodes (terminals, ports, airports) managed by the Ministry of Transportation. This is to prevent the accumulation of vehicles at the toll gate access and the ferry port," he explained.
Second, free homecoming management is also a crucial point that must be considered by the stakeholders of the Eid homecoming organizer. According to Huda, it takes the integration of free homecoming databases from various organizing entities to ensure that there are no double bookings that often result in empty seats in the midst of high public demand.
"Ramp check for free homecoming vehicle fleets should also not be ignored to ensure the safety and comfort of travelers," he said.
Huda also asked the Ministry of Public Works to ensure the readiness of rest areas, which have been the source of congestion due to the accumulation of migrant vehicles. According to him, it is necessary to add toilet facilities and modular fuel supplies to prevent queues spilling onto the toll road.
"One-stop communication management related to homecoming is also important so that it is important for related agencies to unite their information channels so that there is no confusion in the information received by travelers," he concluded.
