"This legal compliance activity is carried out four times a year. We urge the public to maintain and repair their vehicles regularly. Furthermore, the public is asked to undergo emissions testing to ensure their vehicles are not polluting Jakarta's air," he added.

Head of Operational Development Affairs of the South Jakarta Traffic Unit, AKP Joko Purnomo, added that the emission test for legal compliance aims to reduce the level of unfitness of vehicles operating on the road.

"This activity was carried out in conjunction with the 2026 Traffic Safety Operation, prioritizing efforts to reduce the number of traffic violations and accidents," he said.

Joko explained that currently, vehicles, especially four-wheeled vehicles, that fail emissions tests are still given warning letters. However, in the future, emissions test results may become a requirement for renewing a Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK).

"We urge all drivers, both two-wheeled and four-wheeled, to regularly maintain their vehicles," he appealed.
