inp.polri.go.id - Denpasar. The Director of Traffic and Sea Transportation, Hartanto, says that they have suggested the president to implement the concept of Work From Anywhere (WFA) ahead of the 2025 Eid Al-Fitr.

“We are suggesting the president to implement the concept of WFA which means people can go to their hometown earlier to prevent traffic congestion ahead of the critical day,” said Hartanto on Tuesday (1/14/2025).

In his statement, he said that ideally, if the homecoming traffic flow and return flow is on the D-7 and D+7, then the WFA concept can be implemented on the D-12 and D+12 from the Eid Al-Fitr which falls at the end of March 2025.

The Transportation Ministry saw that the idea had to be at least tried as the government needed a quick solution to disperse the traffic flow.

The government itself predicts that during the 2025 Eid Al-Fitr there will be an increase in sea transportation activities, so in addition to the WFA concept option, the ramp check routine will still be carried out.

In addition, at 224 ports, the Ministry of Transportation, especially the Directorate of Traffic and Sea Transportation, will build posts, monitor through a command center, and draw up agreements based on proposals from shipping stakeholders.
