JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung projects that in the future Jakarta will implement an electronic road pricing (ERP) system. Thus, private vehicle users are allowed to cross certain roads in Jakarta as long as they are willing to pay.

"One day, not now, I want to install the ERP. Why is the ERP installed? Yes, if you have money, you want to take a car, take everything to Jakarta is okay, pay all ERPs," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, May 27 evening.

According to Pramono, regional income generated from paid road deposits can help the DKI Provincial Government finance public transportation subsidies such as Transjakarta, Jakarta LRT, and Jakarta MRT for free for 15 groups.

The 15 beneficiary groups consist of civil servants of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, retired civil servants, contract workers of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, KJP Plus recipient students, residents of the flats, the PKK Mobilization Team, and employees who pay equivalent to the UMP.

Then, residents with the Thousand Islands ID cards, recipients of the Jabodetabek domicile race, members of the TNI/Polri, veterans of the Republic of Indonesia, people with disabilities, the elderly over 60 years old, administrators of houses of worship, PAUD educators, and jumantik groups, administrators of youth organizations, dasawisma, and posyandu.

"For residents who are not able to fully become the responsibility of the state, and I will fully use the results of the ERP to provide subsidies to 15 groups, including residents outside Jakarta," explained Pramono.

On different occasions, Pramono revealed the reasons that have caused the paid road system to not be implemented until now. In fact, according to him, the discourse on the implementation of ERP has been sticking out since the leadership of several previous DKI Jakarta Governors.

According to him, ERP cannot be carried out because the connectivity of public transportation modes in Jakarta is not optimal. Meanwhile, this is necessary to support the transfer of use of public transportation from private vehicles.

"Semangat untuk ERP ini sudah ada sejak zaman Bang Foke, Pak Jokowi, Pak Ahok, Pak Djarot, Mas Anies, Pj, dan sebagainya. Tetapi kenapa sampai hari ini belum bisa diterapkan? Memang supporting sistemnya belum selesai," kata Pramono di kawasan Sunter, Jakarta Utara, Senin, 26 Mei.

Sehingga, untuk saat ini, salah satu cara yang kini dilakukan Pramono untuk menambah keberangkatan penumpang untuk angkutan umum di Jakarta yakni dengan memperluas rute Transjabodetabek.

"If everything goes smoothly, so it's not certain that the ERP will definitely be carried out. Later, I won't be framing again that Jakarta will set the ERP. This is still being studied in depth," he added.
