Overall, the Ministry of Transportation has prepared policies for managing mobility during the 2024/2025 holiday season across all modes of transport, including land, sea, air, and rail. The Ministry has ensured the readiness of transportation facilities throughout Indonesia and has prepared backup transport resources as needed.

The Ministry has confirmed the operational readiness of all transport modes by conducting checks on all vehicles to be used. Additionally, there will be restrictions on certain goods transport leading up to peak travel days to reduce queues and congestion, although logistics for essential goods will not be limited.
