Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that the parking rate disincentive for vehicles that have not or have not passed the emission test will also target two-wheeled motorized vehicles. So far, the imposition of the highest parking rate that is more expensive than the normal tariff in several designated locations has only been charged to four-wheeled cars or vehicles. "The two wheels will be applied (parking incentives) later," Syafrin told reporters, Monday, September 18. Syafrin explained the reason why motorcycles have not been charged with the emission test parking disincentive. Currently, the DKI Provincial Government is still synchronizing data on two-wheeled motorized vehicles in Jakarta that have carried out emission tests. "The initial stage is four wheels first, while we consolidate the data with environmental colleagues. So we are still adjusting the data," he said. For information, the DKI Provincial Government has a policy of imposing high parking rates at 10 locations for vehicles that have not or have not passed the emission test. This is implemented in the context of handling Jakarta air quality pollution. Spokesperson for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Air Pollution Control Task Force Ani Ruspitawati explained, this refers to DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 66 of 2020 concerning written Motor Vehicle Exhaust Emission Tests. In Pergub 66/2020, it is stated that every motor vehicle owner who does not do or does not meet the regulations for the exhaust emission test will be subject to a disincentive tariff in the form of the highest tariff payment. "Every vehicle that has not passed the emission test will be detected in ten parking locations belonging to the DKI Provincial Government, through a vehicle plate whose data has been integrated with the Environment Agency," said Ani. The ten parking locations that apply the disincentive rates are in the IRTI Monas parking lot, Blok M Square parking area, West Jakarta Samsat Office parking lot, Mayestik Market parking area, Park and Ride Kalideres, Menteng Park parking building, Pasar Baru Palace parking building, Park and Ride Lebak Bulus, Park and Ride Kampung Rambutan Terminal, and Taman Ismail Marzuki parking lot (TIM).

In this parking disincentive, four-wheeled vehicles that have not or have not passed the emission test are subject to a parking rate of 7,500 rupiah per hour or are progressive in each parking location belonging to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. However, at the Park and Ride location, four-wheeled vehicles are subject to a parking rate of 7,500 rupiah per parking or a flat tariff applies. The tariff has not yet been applied to two-wheeled vehicles.
