History and Next Step Jakarta Car-free Day
Since 2002, CFD was initiated and conducted annually by CSOs regarding to recover
air quality in certain area in the city, while conducting public awareness to reduce the using of motor vehicle by promoting non motorized mobility, and mass public transport. Then, while CSOs were promoting and assisting to draft the air pollution act (finally as Local Act No 2/2005 toward Air Pollution Control), they inserted CFD in the Local Act as a mandatory that must be implemented by Local Government of the Greater Jakarta.
Today, we are developing the grand strategy on integrated CFD for 5 mayor cities in the Greater Jakarta and have being started to implement part of it gradually, with the target next 3 - 5 years it could be implemented at the same time in 5 mayors cities. Ppt
