JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Development (Menko GPA) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono ensured the readiness of transportation infrastructure supporting community mobility ahead of the 2025 Christmas and 2026 New Year flows.
"Infrastructure support is a key factor so that travel flow remains safe, comfortable, and smooth," said Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, who is often called AHY in his statement in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday, November 21.
He said the Government through the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development ensured that all infrastructure supporting community mobility in facing the Christmas and New Year periods was ready to be used.
AHY emphasized that the port and service of the roro ship have been prepared optimally to anticipate the potential spike in community movements.
"The experience during the Christmas-New Year period and the backflow of Eid al-Fitr previously showed a significant decrease in the number of accidents and congestion, as a result of increased coordination between agencies and better readiness of facilities and infrastructure," he said.
"The government will continue to make sustainable improvements to ensure improving the quality of community mobility from time to time," he stressed.
The smooth journey of the community, he said, not only concerns aspects of safety and comfort, but also has a direct positive impact on economic growth, especially the MSME sector, tourism and the creative economy.
The government, he continued, is committed to ensuring that all modes of transportation, whether land, sea, or air, are ready to operate optimally to support community activities during the year-end holidays.
