Indonesia is intensifying efforts to achieve a ‘Zero Over Dimension Over Loading’ (ODOL) policy by 2027 through technological enforcement and regulatory reform. In September 2026, the Ministry of Transportation reported that its new electronic law enforcement system, the ETLE Hub, detected 72,236 violations across 51 monitoring points during its first month of operation. Data indicated that violations primarily involved documentation issues and load capacity. Director General Aan Suhanan noted that these automated detections require a verification process before legal action is taken. To support these enforcement efforts, the government is revising the Road Traffic and Transport Law (RUU LLAJ). By late September 2026, the Indonesian government and the House of Representatives (DPR RI) reached an agreement on key provisions for the RUU LLAJ. A major component of the revision is the formal regulation of digital-based transportation, including special rental services and motorcycle-based services for passenger transport and food or goods delivery. These regulations will address the rights and obligations of digital platform companies regarding tariffs, fleet quotas, and driver protections. The updated regulatory framework aims to increase sanctions and expand legal accountability for ODOL violations to include both cargo owners vehicle owners, corporations, and transport operators, cargo owners, rather than focusing solely on drivers. To improve governance, the revision involves new ministries in the oversight process: the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education for traffic education, the Ministry of Health for post-accident handling, and the Ministry of Communication and Digital for the management of digital transport platforms. Experts have also emphasized the necessity of these measures to mitigate maritime risks, noting that overloaded vehicles can damage ferry ramp doors and complicate vehicle securing during transit.
