Handover of Electric Motorcycles for Patrols
During this ceremony, the Denpasar City Government handed over electric motorcycles for patrol purposes in various areas. These electric motorcycles will be used by the Rapid Response Unit (URC) team, which is tasked with managing traffic and alleviating congestion. A total of 40 electric motorcycles have been distributed to officers spread across four subdistricts in Denpasar City.
The URC team is tasked with mapping 45 major traffic congestion points in Denpasar and acting quickly in coordination with the police to ease traffic congestion. This measure is also supported by the installation of additional CCTV cameras at various strategic points.
Denpasar City Government’s Commitment to Transitioning to Electric Vehicles
In an interview conducted during the ceremony, the Mayor of Denpasar emphasized the government’s commitment to prioritizing environmentally friendly vehicles as part of the city’s transportation policy. Here is his statement:
“Our commitment is to provide comfort to the community, one of which is through the use of electric motorcycles. This aims to reduce carbon emissions and support a healthier environment. A total of 40 electric motorcycles have been distributed to officers who will serve in the Rapid Response Unit Team across four districts. They will manage 45 major traffic congestion points in Denpasar in coordination with the police. We have also added CCTV for more effective monitoring. Whether we like it or not, we must transition to electric vehicles in the future. This is the first step toward a more modern and environmentally friendly transportation system.”
As part of its long-term plan, the Denpasar City Government also plans to use electric vehicles for shuttle buses in Sanur, in order to improve public transportation services that are more efficient and sustainable.
