RIAU - The Directorate General of Land Transportation (Ditjen Hubdat) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) continues to strive to improve road transportation safety. One of the efforts is to improve the quality of Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) in the field of Road Transportation Traffic (LLAJ).

Sesditjen Hubdat Marta Hardisarwono explained that DG Hubdat has committed to carry out the management and operation of orderly and safe land transportation through law enforcement that is modern, transparent, and with integrity.

Based on Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, provisions concerning the inspection of motorized vehicles on the road and prosecution of road traffic and transportation violations that require clarity in application in the field are stipulated in government regulations.
