This week the administration of Jakarta city started to provide the extension of the air pollution control policy to improve the air quality in the capital. Jakarta has some of the poorest air quality globally, it requires stricter air pollution control measures, especially, to decrease the amount of pollutants from the transportation sector, which is responsible for 70-80% of air pollution levels, as indicated by studies.

Air pollution control restrictions target cars and motorcycles to reduce emissions, as motorcycles make up 75% of all vehicles, whereas cars comprise only 23%. Jakarta is among the first cities in Indonesia to implement a law addressing air pollution.

The initial efforts by the Jakarta administration to manage air pollution revealed that “efforts to ease traffic congestion were an integral part of improving air quality”. However, the limitations in public transportation fail to significantly lower vehicle emissions due to inadequate enforcement of air quality regulations.

For example, the air quality in Jakarta was the worst in the world on Aug. 3 (with an air pollution level of 174 AQI), while this week the level of air pollutants accounted for 135 Air Quality Index and it continues improving. Although the air quality in Jakarta fluctuates, it will take a considerable amount of time before the city residents can enjoy clear blue skies. Central Jakarta District Court may force the city administration to enforce air pollution control regulations.

“A commitment by the people is the key to significant improvement of the city air quality because any policies on air pollution control demand trade-offs from residents and commuters”. This means that, as per air pollution control rules, it is necessary to alter the convenience of using personal vehicles, invest more in eco-friendly fuels, and routinely check the vehicles to comply with emissions regulations.
