On September 17, 2026, Indonesia observed National Transportation Day (Harhubnas) with ceremonies held in various regions, including Bengkalis and North Sumatra. 

During these events, officials communicated mandates from Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi. A central theme was the prioritization of transportation safety, which was described as a ‘moral responsibility’ and the ‘pride’ of personnel rather than a simple administrative task. The Minister called for an evaluation of public services to meet rising community expectations.

Key strategic objectives highlighted included enhancing regional connectivity to link production centers with markets to lower logistics costs, as directed by President Prabowo Subianto. Additionally, the ceremonies emphasized the necessity of digital transformation to improve transparency and oversight, while noting that human integrity remains essential to the success of public service.
