JAKARTA - Member of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD, Taufik Zoelkifli, proposed to the DKI Provincial Government that the emission test ticket not only be applied in Jakarta, but also in buffer areas such as Bekasi and Depok.

According to Taufik, cooperation in expanding the coverage of emission test tickets with several buffer cities can have a more significant impact on reducing pollution.

"This vehicle is also from there," said Taufik as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, September 4.

Socialization of emission test tickets, said Taufik, also needs to involve communities at the sub-district or sub-district level such as youth organizations or dasawisma in order to maximize socialization to the community.

"There are also many complaints from the public, they don't know where the emission test site is, what kind of vehicle," said Taufik Zoelkifli, Member of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD. Vehicles that do not pass the emission test are subject to fines in accordance with Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation Article 285 and Article 286 with a fine ticket of Rp. 250 thousand for motorbikes and Rp. 500 thousand for cars that do not pass the emission test.

Member of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD Justin Adrian stated that the emission test ticket is one of a series of efforts by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to reduce air pollution.

However, he said the policy needed to be followed by various other policies such as adjusting parking rates, ordering illegal parking, improving public transportation, and extending STNK which required qualifying for emission tests.

Not only targeting private vehicle users, in order to reduce air pollution in Jakarta, Member of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD Justin Adrian proposed combing the manufacturing industry which produces pollution beyond the threshold.

Industry action, said Justin, could be in the form of written warnings, fines, and industrial closures if it was deemed not to have an Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL).

"I hope this (action) is not selective, carried out consistently and thoroughly because there are 1,600 fields of medium to large manufacturing businesses, this does not include small ones," said Justin.
