Abstract
Urban road pricing involves direct charging of drivers for the use of the road network, usually during peak periods. The main objectives for the introduction of a road pricing scheme, in a congested city network, include reduction of delays, environmental improvement and revenue increase. These objectives are closely associated with the concepts of sustainable mobility in urban areas with respect to social equity, economic efficiency, and environmental responsibility. There have been intensive discussions about sustainable transportation in Indonesia. In tune with the issue of climate change and the decline in the ability to provide fuel, this paper is intended to look at the perspective of road pricing from the standpoint of traffic flow, travel speed, emissions reduction, and energy consumption as well as pricing scheme. As pricing will be imposed for the Moslem community, it should conform with Islamic tax income which is for the benefits of poor, needy and less privileged people in the society. The conclusion drawn is that the frenzied application of road pricing will be able to improve traffic in Greater Jakarta but the sustainability of pricing should be adjusted with Islamic tax income.
Highlights
In a congested environment, each additional trip causes all other similar trips to be delayed
The added benefit in Hong Kong is that most public transport does not require subsidy, as the network of bus and mini-bus services operates commercially, all with integrated smartcard ticketing, so growth in demand is met by operators investing themselves
D) As set by government regulation, revenue from road pricing will be allocated for traffic management and public transport improvement
Summary
Each additional trip causes all other similar trips to be delayed. The economic theory underlying road pricing is to bring these costs into consideration and, as a result, allocates road space more efficiently. Those prepared to pay to obtain a higher quality of service, and the absence of those not prepared to pay benefits to all remaining road users including public transport passengers. ERP will divert car and taxi trips to public transport, producing a small percentage increase in overall demand for public transport. The ERP plan has developed in a concrete way, as the central government passed Government Regulation (PP) No 32/2011 for Traffic Management and Engineering, which provides a legal framework within which Jakarta’s local government may execute the ERP plan [26]
