Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Bans Motorized Vehicles
- Non-motorized becaks in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Yogyakarta, Indonesia, recently pilot-tested a project to reduce air pollution through non-motorized transport by banning motorized vehicles from selected roads. Among the non-motorized vehicles that came back into popularity included the local "becaks."
Yogyakarta is among the five pilot cities that joined the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Campaign in Indonesia in 2001. It is likewise among the four Indonesian cities that has completed the CCP's Five Milestones.
Its 2001 base year emissions inventory disclosed a total of 996,533 tonnes of eCO2 and is projected to release to the atmosphere 2,306,020 of eCO2 in 2010. The majority of the corporate sector emissions come from streetlight operations.
In October 2002, the city has set an emissions avoidance goal of 23 percent for the corporate sector and five percent for the community sector. Yogyakarta is currently undertaking a streetlight retrofitting program that concentrates on making all government-owned buildings energy efficient. The city is also implementing a program for emissions testing and maintenance for private and public vehicles.
