Title: Planning for Integrated Transport in Indonesia: Some Lessons from the UK’s Experience
Abstract: Traffic congestion has been a major problem in many cities in Indonesia, thus requiring a better transport policy. Many developed countries, including the United Kingdom, has been implementing the integrated transport policy to replace traditional transport policy that focus on only building roads to anticipate traffic demand. This paper provides a highlight on the implementation of integrated transport policy in the United Kingdom. Some key issues that can be learnt by the Indonesian government from their experience are discussed. This includes the integration within and between all types of transport, integration with land use planning, integration with environment policy and integration with policies for education, health and wealth creations. In the implementation, the policy requires continuity and stability in organization and politics, coordination in local transport plans, more devolution on power and revenue funding from the government in addition to capital funding.
