The Jakarta administration is working with the central government and its satellite cities to expand the number of emissions test locations sites in a combined effort to tackle the city’s worsening air pollution.

New emissions test locations are to be established in Bogor, Bekasi and Depok in West Java and in Tangerang, Banten, as the Jakarta administration looks to enforcing stricter emission controls for each vehicle traveling to and in the city.

Motorized vehicles, both public and private, are often highlighted as among the causes of the heavy pollution blanketing Jakarta.
