BPBDng public transportation in the province in 2026 is projected to increase from 7.3 million to 7.7 million passengers or an increase of 5.19 percent.
Khofifah emphasized that the East Java Provincial Government together with stakeholders had prepared anticipatory and mitigative steps, starting with the readiness of security posts (Pos PAM), integrated posts, service posts, to the strengthening of rest areas, tourist spots and areas prone to congestion.
"Like when the fire broke out, don't let the condition worsen due to the delay in evacuation. So the presence of a 24-hour Puskesmas that is connected to the nearest hospital will be very decisive to anticipate," he said.

On Lebaran 2026, the East Java Provincial Government will reopen the Kraksaan-Gending toll road in Situbondo for travelers to the east.
