The plan to construct the Bocimi (Bogor-Ciawi-Sukabumi) toll road which will pass through with exit gate located in this district is predicted to push the regional development in this district even further. This study aimed to understand the regional development in Cigombong District impacted by the availability of inter-urban transportation.
