The South Jakarta Environmental Agency targets 1,500 vehicles to undergo free emissions testing throughout 2025.

We focus on motorcycles because air pollution in Jakarta mostly comes from them

Pollution and Environmental Damage Control Section Head, Tuty Ernawati Sapardin said emission testing is aimed at improving air quality in Jakarta.

"We focus on motorcycles because air pollution in Jakarta mostly comes from them, especially those coming from outside Jakarta. They must undergo emission testing to maintain air quality in Jakarta," she expressed, Tuesday (4/22).

She explained emission testing in South Jakarta is a routine agenda once a week at the sub-district office or the South Jakarta Environment Agency office, with targets to achieve 200 vehicles for the first quarter, 300 vehicles for the second quarter, and 500 vehicles for both the third and fourth quarters.

"We have held emission tests on more than 319 two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles, both public and operational service vehicles," she explained.

Aside that, another emission tests were also spotted at 108 workshops. For the workshop, the results are no longer recorded on paper, but directly entered into the e-Emission Test application.

"I call on the public, especially students and office workers, to prioritize public transportation over private vehicles, thus Jakarta's air becomes better and cooler," she stated.
