JAKARTA - Safety is the main estuary in transportation operations. Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi said that to achieve safety in transportation requires strong collaboration and commitment between stakeholders, including from the community.

For this reason, Budi Karya invites the public to participate in campaigning for safety in transportation. One way to do this is by attaching a vector photo frame (twibbon) in the profile photo for a short message account or by attaching the 'Let's Congratulations Together' logo in each work activity.

"I, the Minister of Transportation, invite all of us to cultivate safe, safe, comfortable and healthy transportation, our awareness of safety is common. Use the 'Come on Congratulations Together' logo in every activity in our work area starting today until May 31, 2021," he said, in campaign launch event, Wednesday, March 17th.

On the other hand, Budi said that the increase in transportation in Indonesia has played a major role in making transportation more advanced in the current economic and social recovery period.

"To the transportation sector stakeholders, I encourage them to participate in optimizing all available resources, increasing safety actions and encouraging the environment to improve transportation safety in Indonesia," he said.

For your information, this campaign was launched ahead of the 2021 homecoming which will take place from early to mid-May. The government has emphasized that it does not prohibit people from going home this year.

Even though homecoming is allowed, in a meeting with Commission V last Wednesday, Budi emphasized residents to keep strict protocols and prioritize safety.

In addition, the government is also in consultation with related parties to tighten travel requirements, namely by shortening the validity period of COVID-19 screening tools such as GeNose, rapid tests, or PCR tests.

"Our awareness, safety together, my transportation forward, rise my Indonesia," he said.
