Rivan also expressed his appreciation to the Indonesian National Police, the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub), the BUMN Regulatory Agency, Danantara, the Ministry of Public Works (PU), the Ministry of Environment (LH) and other stakeholders for their support during the 2025/2026 Nataru period.

"We also thank all the people for their cooperation, especially in complying with the rules and directions of officers in the field, so as to contribute positively to the smooth implementation of traffic operations during the 2025/2026 Nataru period," he said.

According to Rivan, the success of the Nataru 2025/2026 service is supported by various strategies, including the use of artificial intelligence technology in traffic management, the implementation of contraflow on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, the operation of functional toll sections, traffic regulation in rest areas, and the implementation of toll tariff discounts on a number of strategic sections.

In addition, the implementation of restrictions on the transportation of goods of groups III-V during the Christmas period of 2025 to 2026 New Year's Eve was considered effective in reducing the volume of freight transport vehicles by 37 percent.

"We are committed to continue strengthening operational readiness and improving service quality across all toll roads of the Jasa Marga Group to maintain consistent fulfillment of Minimum Service Standards (SPM)," he added.
