Abstract

Transportation sustainability has become one of today's global environmental issues. In addition, this issue has been studied from various perspectives. This study aims to evaluate how the Indonesian government maintains the sustainability of road transportation through the policy of weighing heavy vehicles on the road (Perdirhubdat-Regulation of Directorate of Transportation on Road Map of Implementation Revitalization for Weighing Motorized Vehicle). The study used descriptive qualitative method by obtaining information from stakeholders, i.e. BPTD (Balai Pengelola Transportasi Darat/Land Transportation Management Office) of Region X of Central Java and Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) provinces, the Head Coordinator of UPPKB (Unit Pelaksana Penimbangan Kendaraan Bermotor/Implementation Unit of Motorized Vehicle Weighing) of Batang, Brebes and Rembang regencies; Team Commander (Komandan Regu-Danru) at UPPKB, Drivers of Goods Transportation, public communities as Road Users and observing directly at 3 weighbridge points. The results showed that the implementation of revitalization program for weighing motor vehicles was not yet fully maximal. This can be seen from the evaluation indicators including effectiveness which shows less maximal results since because it was not based on the predetermined operational standards. Whereas efficiency showed that it was still ineffective both in terms of cost and energy.
