Jakarta Declaration: A Commitment to Sustainable Mobility
A key outcome of the ITS Asia Pacific Forum 2024 was the adoption of the Jakarta Declaration, a joint commitment by Asia Pacific leaders and global organizations to achieve sustainable and intelligent transportation. The declaration highlights the importance of regional connectivity and inclusive infrastructure, with a focus on developing transportation facilities and infrastructure tailored to the unique needs and challenges of each country.
The Jakarta Declaration also welcomes new solutions and initiatives at the global, regional, and national levels to accelerate progress towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Partnerships and collaboration among stakeholders from the public and private sectors are recognized as crucial for enhancing and accelerating the implementation of intelligent transportation systems.
Jakarta Initiative on Sustainable and Intelligent Urban Mobility
Furthering the commitment to sustainable mobility, a collaboration between the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), ITS Indonesia, and the 5P Global Movement resulted in the Jakarta Initiative on Sustainable and Intelligent Urban Mobility. This initiative aligns with the Jakarta Declaration and outlines five key action areas:
– Establishing an EV (electronic vehicle) ecosystem in IKN and other cities
– Promoting public transportation integration and a unified ticketing system
– Implementing intelligent traffic management
– Adopting electronic and digital payments for transportation services

– Increasing public transportation usage to 80%
– Implementing clean technology (EVs)
– Integrating public transportation
– Enhancing logistics and freight delivery efficiency
The ITS Asia Pacific Forum 2024 marked a defining moment for intelligent transportation in the Asia Pacific region. With the Jakarta Declaration and Jakarta Initiative on Sustainable and Intelligent Urban Mobility as guiding frameworks, leaders and stakeholders have committed to shaping a future of mobility that is inclusive, sustainable, and integrated.
