JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that he handed over the fate of discussing the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Electronic Traffic Control (PL2SE) to the DKI Jakarta DPRD. The Raperda PL2SE is a regulation that regulates the implementation of a paid road system or electronic road pricing (ERP). In fact, Previously, the DKI Transportation Agency would propose the withdrawal of the Raperda PL2SE from the 2023 regional regulation formation program (propemperda). "Yes, it's up to you, if the DPRD wants to return (Raperda PL2SE), please," said Heru when met at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Thursday, February 9. Heru revealed that currently the ball for the preparation of basic regulations to implement ERP is in the hands of the DPRD because it has entered the 2023 Propemperda. However, amid the rejection of a number of people against this paid road system, Heru ensured that local governments would consider public aspirations before realizing them. "We are in the process at the DPRD. It depends on the direction of our DPRD friends, so we will join. What is important is that we pay attention to all our aspirations," he said. Chairman of the Regional Regulation Formation Agency (Bapemperda) of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Pantas Nainggolan admitted that his party had not received a request for the withdrawal of the PL2SE Raperda from the DKI Provincial Government today. It is appropriate to say that if the DKI Provincial Government later proposes a Raperda PL2SE through a letter submitted by the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono, Bapemperda of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, it will follow up with discussion of joint reviews. "The PL2SE Raperda can be returned to the executive and there are rules. The Raperda can be revoked after being appointed in a plenary meeting. The handover is in the plenary session, so it ends with a plenary session," he said. Draft Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Electronic Traffic Control (PL2SE) which regulates paid roads has been prepared. The Provincial Government and the DKI DPRD have also conducted initial discussions regarding the contents in the draft, but the discussion of articles per article has not been carried out. The plan to implement ERP in Jakarta has drawn rejection from community groups. A number of online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) held a demonstration in front of the DKI DPRD Building and DKI Jakarta City Hall. The ojol action at the City Hall of DKI yesterday was visited by the Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo. Syafrin was asked to clarify the plan to implement a paid road or electronic road pricing (ERP). Initially, Syafrin answered diplomatically about the demands of the mass action. Syafrin said that the DKI Provincial Government would follow up on two ojol demands, namely reviewing the Raperda PL2SE and excluding online transportation from vehicles that were included in the ERP payment. This answer did not satisfy the ojol masses. Syafrin finally admitted that he would propose a withdrawal from his party to withdraw the Raperda P2LSE from the Regional Regulation Formation Agency (Bapemperda) of the DKI DPRD. Thus, the Raperda P2LSE will not be included in the discussion agenda this year.
