INILAH.COM, Jakarta Not to mention regulations for vehicle emissions test is run four wheels, Jakarta Government is now preparing the same rules for two-wheeled vehicles. Will the adopted regulation is effective from next year, while liabilities to four-wheeled vehicle is still not clear progress?

Jakarta Government Readiness to adopt mandatory rules for motorcycle emissions were regulated in the Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 2 / 2005 on Air Pollution Control and Pergub No. 92 of 2007 on Emissions Testing and Maintenance of Motor Vehicles.

“Private vehicles are required to conduct emissions testing. Whereas for two-wheeled vehicles will be applied nulai January 1, 2009,” said Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo.

Emission obligations on the motorcycle, said Chief Budirama Natakusumah BPLHD Jakarta, has actually set forth in Regulation No. 2 / 2005 which made reference to the implementation of emission tests on cars.

“Emissions test that applies to all motor vehicles. Test applied emission of new motor next year because we can not apply it at once, but gradually. We want to socialize and train technicians and a workshop had to be appointed,” said Budirama to INILAH.COM, in Jakarta, Friday (11 / 1).

The value of fines that would apply to motorcycles that do not pass emission tests were similar to those applicable to the car. That is, USD $ 2 million or imprisonment of three months. The number that, according to applied based on Law No. 14/1992 on traffic.

“Even when referring to the law 2 / 2005, total maximum fine of Rp 50 million or six months in prison,” he said.

Budirama can not mention the results of the implementation of automobile emissions testing that is required since January 1, 2008, having just walked. While the evaluation of the 214 workshops that perform emission tests are routinely done every month.

“If somebody dared to cheat, would we pull the permit,” said Budirama.

DKI BPLHD technically acting as a field supervisor with the implementation of emissions testing in workshops are empowered. Vehicle owners must pay Rp 50,000 as a ‘refund’ stickers which will be affixed to the vehicle passes the emission test.

The details, Rp 12,500 for the cost of the manager and USD 37 500 for the workshop. Going forward, all extend the vehicle registration of vehicles must also evidenced by the emission test.

Entry into compulsory emission testing for vehicles that are expected to cause an increase in net air quality in Jakarta. Until October 2007, clean air quality in Jakarta continued to increase to 59 days.

However, until now the Jakarta air quality can not be said to be good.

Penagamat Darmaningtyas transport rate, emission test as a good thing to reduce air pollution in Jakarta. It’s just that those obligations will be in vain if not offset by increased quality of public transport.

Intention of reducing air pollution in Jakarta, he continued, to be ironic, if compared with the administration plan that would build six new toll roads in Jakarta.

“It’s a means that it has created more pollution because they invite a personal vehicle for more and more out. There is no point if the infrastructure is not consistent with the builders of the city,” he said.

Darmaningtyas can not imagine, the implementation of motorcycle emissions testing with a much larger amount than the car. Moreover, emission test conducted twice a year, while to renew vehicle registration is only done once a year.

“The amount of the penalties that millions are also not realistic. Price second motor only five millions. The effective that by developing public transport facilities to get people to leave personal vehicles,” said Darmaningtyas.

Previously, public policy experts from LIPI, Andrinof Chaniago, assessing liability emissions testing as a step the Government of DKI Jakarta, which tends to use law as an instrument of power for the money.

“Therefore, we should be questioning, what is the motive behind this plan. Do-do-do already exist between certain parties with unscrupulous administration officials and other personnel,” he said.

Polda Metro Jaya recorded, the number of motorcycles in the region amounted to 7.84 million by 2006. Certainly not an easy thing to record all the vehicle to pass emissions testing.

However, people in Jakarta should support efforts to reduce air pollution in Jakarta, which according to WHO (2006), the third worst in the world. However, this policy should be followed also by the consistency of administration, by not adding toll roads, which only add to air pollution potential.
