DKI Holds Free Emission Test In Ragunan To Improve Air Quality

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government held a free 2023 Grand Emission Test (UAE) in North Parking Ragunan Wildlife Park to improve air quality as well as a series of celebrations for the 496th Anniversary of Jakarta City and World Environment Day

"motorized vehicles in Jakarta over the age of three are required to carry out emission tests every year," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency, Asep Kuswanto, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 24.

Asep said, the 2023 UAE is the starting point for implementing three important policies in ensuring that all motorized vehicles in Jakarta meet the exhaust emission threshold which is required as an effort to improve air quality.

The three policies, namely the socialization of legal restrictions, parking disincentives and the imposition of motorized vehicle tax (PKB) fines for vehicles that have not yet carried out emission tests.

The first policy is related to vehicles that do not carry out emission tests in the future, socialization of legal restrictions will be carried out when crossing the highway.

Polda Metro Jaya will conduct Operation Patuh 2023 and emission tests from Tuesday (6/6) to Monday (19/6) regarding this matter.

The second policy is the implementation of parking disincentives for vehicles that do not carry out emission tests. Currently, parking locations that have implemented parking incentives are 11 locations and will gradually increase in all Samsat, GOR and RSUD offices.

In addition to the parking location managed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov), parking disincentives will be applied to parking locations managed by private parties. Currently, an approach has been made to integrate emission test data to private parking managers.

Later, the Pergub revision Number 120 of 2012 concerning Parking Fees will be carried out at the Implementation of Public Parking Facilities Outside the Road.

"The maximum parking fee will be imposed on vehicles that have not yet carried out emission tests," he said.

The third policy is related to the imposition of a motorized vehicle tax (PKB) fine in accordance with PP 22/2021 concerning the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management.

This tax fine will target vehicle owners who have not yet conducted an emission test when paying PKB.

This means that every time you pay PKB, vehicles that have not carried out an emission test will receive sanctions in the form of a coefficient fine from the tax value that must be paid.

"The amount of tax fine coefficient which includes this type of vehicle will be driven by the formulation by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Home Affairs and will apply nationally," he said.
