Jakarta governance and infrastructure management

Overview

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has initiated several administrative and infrastructure measures to address public safety and traffic management in the capital.

In August 2026, the Governor issued directives following a fatal traffic accident at Pasar Kramat Jati, ordering the reorganization of the area to improve road safety. He also mandated that civil servants in direct public service roles must work on-site rather than from home. Additionally, the city implemented flexible remote learning for schools during Independence Day observances and called for public cooperation regarding planned student demonstrations.

By September 2026, focus shifted toward long-term infrastructure and congestion management. The Governor inspected a road widening project in Pasar Minggu, aiming for completion by 2027 after years of planning. To manage immediate vehicle volume, the provincial government also reinstated the odd-even traffic restriction system across 25 road segments, enforced by electronic cameras.

On September 13, 2026, the Governor expanded his administrative focus to education by signing Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 20 of 2026. This regulation establishes the ‘LPDP Jakarta’ or ‘Beasiswa Jakarta Unggul’ scholarship program, which has an allocated budget of approximately Rp100 billion. The initiative is designed to support high-achieving Jakarta residents in pursuing master’s (S-2) and doctoral (S-3) degrees at top global universities. The program is expected to begin its first study cycle in 2027, with registration opening in September 2027. Additionally, the Governor inspected the Pasar Minggu parallel rail road project in South Jakarta, which is also targeted for completion by 2027 to alleviate congestion. Recent updates indicate that the Pasar Minggu road widening project is currently 70 percent complete.
