ITDP Indonesia, supported by the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transition (UK PACT), concluded a series of Jakarta Urban Mobility Festival 2025 events with a closing ceremony titled “Building Momentum for Clean Mobility in Metropolitan Jakarta.” The event was held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at JS Luwansa Hotel in Jakarta, and attended by representatives from organizations of persons with disabilities (GERKATIN, GAUN, PERTUNI, PPDI, HWDI), government agencies, donor institutions, public transport operators, and civil society organizations. 

In his opening remarks, Gonggomtua Sitanggang, Southeast Asia Director of ITDP, highlighted key achievements of the Clean Mobility for Metropolitan Jakarta program, which has been running since 2022. Among the notable outcomes was the revitalization of the Transit Plaza Dukuh Atas area and the pedestrianization of Kendal Tunnel, which increased pedestrian flow by 30%—from 4,800 to more than 6,000 people per hour. Another significant initiative was the inclusive Transjakarta bus stop prototype trial at Lebak Bulus, developed in collaboration with GAUN and PERTUNI. This trial has since been formalized as part of Transjakarta’s official service standards through Jakarta Governor Regulation No. 2 of 2024. 

Furthermore, Gonggom added, “From the recommendations and the journey of the last three years, we also collaborate with other cities, to find out how the strategies or recommendations that we produce in metropolitan Jakarta can be replicated in other metropolitan or cities, and maybe can be adopted into a policy or regulation at the national level.” 

In the same session, Harriet Cooney, Deputy for Low Carbon Infrastructure at the British Embassy in Jakarta, expressed her appreciation for the strong spirit of collaboration among all stakeholders. She highlighted that the program is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 2.3 million tons by 2030, while creating a more livable and equitable city. “It’s about more than just clean air, it’s about creating a more livable, equitable, and globally attractive metropolitan area,” said Harriet Cooney. 

Mr. Suharto, Acting Director General of Transportation Integration and Multimodal at the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation, expressed his appreciation for the Jakarta Provincial Government’s implementation of a Public Transport Day every Wednesday. The initiative aims to encourage the use of public transport, starting with civil servants (ASN). Although early simulations showed that only around 2.5% of the workforce in Greater Jakarta has participated, the move is seen as an important first step in reducing private vehicle dependence. 

He also highlighted that ITDP’s recommendations—such as public transport electrification, development of bicycle lanes, and the implementation of Low Emission Zones—have started to be adopted in Jakarta, and could serve as a reference for at least 20 emerging urban agglomerations, with appropriate adaptation to each local context. In closing, he stressed that transport challenges will continue to evolve and require long-term collaboration and preparedness. The support from ITDP and UK PACT over the past three years, he added, has been instrumental in building the foundation for sustainable mobility. 

As a symbol of the end of the “Clean Mobility for Metropolitan Jakarta” program, ITDP Indonesia, represented by Gonggomtua Sitanggang as ITDP’s Southeast Asia Director, handed over the program’s achievement document to Mr. Suharto, as Acting Director General of Transportation Integration and Multimodal Transport of the Ministry of Transportation. Director General of Transportation Integration and Multimodal of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation. The handover was also witnessed by Harriet Cooney, Deputy for Low Carbon Infrastructure from the British Embassy.  

In this event, ITDP Indonesia also presented various initiatives and lessons learned from the Clean Mobility for Metropolitan Jakarta program. The materials presented included inclusive approaches to sustainable mobility, infrastructure development and services for pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas, public transportation integration in Jabodetabek, and traffic demand management strategies. In addition to the presentation, the event featured a range of informational installations, including a program timeline, inclusive bus stop designs, bike-sharing systems, the green corridor concept, integrated public transportation, parking management solutions, low emission zone (LEZ), and electronic road pricing (ERP).
