Innovation Implementation: 

State Transportation Innovation Councils

The State Transportation Innovation Council, or “STIC,” is a concept that came out of the Every Day Counts summits in 2010. The idea is that bringing together the key players in the area of highway transportation within a state is a great way to determine which innovations will work best for them.

State Transportation Innovation Councils across the country are using the Federal Highway Administration’s STIC incentive program to help cover the cost of making innovations standard practice. 

The councils—made up of public and private transportation stakeholders in each state—are using the incentives on a variety of projects:

• The Vermont STIC, for example, is funding a project to institutionalize the design-build contracting method. The Vermont Agency of Transportation has used design-build on five bridge projects and has another in procurement. After relying on a small team to implement design-build on early projects, the agency is documenting key design-build processes and procedures so they can be used consistently throughout the agency.
• The North Carolina Department of Transportation is pursuing a local government agency certification initiative. The first phase of the certification program requires local agencies to become prequalified so they understand what’s involved in delivering local Federal-Aid projects. The agency is using STIC funds to help design, develop and implement the prequalification phase of the program.
• The Michigan STIC requested STIC incentives to develop a report on a pilot project to collect and maintain geospatial data identifying the location of underground utilities in Michigan Department of Transportation rights-of-way. The pilot project is part of an effort to make it standard practice to capture utility location information at the time of installation.

Each state STIC can apply for up to $100,000 a year to carry out projects that mainstream innovative practices.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - DPP Organda menyebut, saat ini truk barang yang beroperasi di Indonesia keseluruhan berjumlah sekitar 7 juta truk. Dari jumlah itu, yang membutuhkan direvitalisasi mencapai 60 persen.

Ketua Umum DPP Organda, Eka Sari Lorena mengatakan, kondisi ini disebabkan lantaran kapasitas produksi truk di Indonesia masih jauh dari kebutuhan. Produksi truk rata-rata per tahun hanya sekitar 60.000 unit.

Eka mengakui, rencana revitalisasi truk masih kurang mendapat dukungan semua pihak. Padahal, angkutan barang sebagian sudah siap berbenah bahkan mengintegrasikan diri dengan konsep green port.

Seperti salah satunya yang dilakukan angkutan pelabuhan di bawah Organda dengan PT Pelindo III (Persero), di mana telah disepakati hanya truk dengan spesifikasi "hijau" saja yang bisa masuk ke pelabuhan. 

"Di Tanjung Perak Surabaya konsep green port akan terealisasi dalam dua tahun ini. Jadi truknya pun beda. Teknologi dari awal yang green. Pelindo III cukup agresif. Mereka sudah bikin konsorsium dengan Organda beli truk. Bareng-bareng mengecek ke pabriknya, agar tidak tertipu, pas datang ternyata berkarat," kata dia lagi.

Masing-masing pihak dalam konsorsium tersebut, kata Eka, memberikan kontribusi sebesar Rp 400 juta. Dia optimistis, konsep green port ini juga bakal diadopsi oleh Pelindo II. Namun, yang menjadi pekerjaan rumah saat ini adalah 60 persen truk yang butuh revitalisasi tadi.

Eka berharap ada komitmen dari semua pemangku kepentingan terkait, agar truk-truk berusia tua bisa tetap berjalan dengan perejamaan.

Ridwan Kamil Curhat Soal Kemacetan Akhir Pekan Pada Jokowi

Mulya Nurbilkis - detikNews

Bandung - Gubernur DKI Joko Widodo menemui Wali Kota Bandung Ridwan Kamil di Balai Kota Bandung. Kesempatan itu dimanfaatkan Kang Emil untuk curhat tentang kepadatan kota Bandung karena orang-orang Jakarta yang datang setiap akhir pekan.

"Ini kalau sudah akhir pekan, saya pasti sudah pusing lagi," kata Ridwan Kamil sambil duduk santai di tangga depan kantornya, Kamis (16/4/2014).

Pria yang kerap disapa Kang Emil ini mengeluhkan warga Jakarta yang datang berlibur ke Bandung, namun menggunakan kendaraan pribadi. Hal ini menurutnya membuat Bandung semakin macet dan semrawut.

"Kami minta agar sebisa mungkin warga Jakarta kalau mau ke Bandung naik kereta saja," sambungnya.

Mendengar keluhan ini, Jokowi hanya tersenyum. Ia pun mengangguk pada Emil yang duduk tepat di sampingnya.

"Kalau mau datang ke Bandung, naik kereta saja. Nanti dari stasiun kereta kami jemput naik bus Bandros (Bandung Tour on the Bus)," sambung politisi Gerindra itu.

Sudah menjadi kebiasaan, setiap akhir minggu kota Bandung menjadi lebih padat daripada hari biasa. Salah satu penyebabnya karena jumlah turis domistik dari Jakarta yang berlibur ke Bandung.

Eka Sari Lorena: Melalui IPO, Kami Ingin "Open Management"

Bus Lorena (sumber: Istimewa)

Jakarta - PT Eka Sari Lorena Transport resmi memulai proses penawaran saham perdana(Initial public offering/IPO). Perseroan menawarkan saham di dikisaran Rp 825-Rp 1.025 per saham.

Menariknya aksi IPO ini adalah, harapan sebuah perusahaan keluarga untuk semakin profesional di tengah pasar yang kompetitif.

"Perusahan ini ingin berkembang, mau lebihopen management, jadi tidak seperti warteg," kata Presiden Direktur PT Eka Sari Lorena Transport, Eka Sari Lorena Soerbakti usai due diligence & public expose, di Jakarta, Kamis (20/3).

Eka Sari optimistis, bisnis transportasi darat antar kota antar provinsi (AKAP) yang keluarganya kelola bakal kian propektif di masa mendatang. Bukan hanya soal permodalan, aksi go public ini juga diharapkan membuat nama Lorena makin berkibar.

Setelah IPO, perseroan siap terbuka dengan berbagai kemungkinan. "Tentunya kami harap ada perubahan," kata perempuan yang masuk dalam daftar Inspring Woman 2014 versi Majalah Forbes Indonesia ini dengan
cerdas.

Perlu diketahui, Lorena melepas 150 juta lembar saham atau 42,86 persen dari modal ditempatkan dan disetor. Ini berarti, manajemen bakal menggalang dana segar sekitar Rp 123,75 miliar-Rp 153,75 miliar.

Sebesar 81 persen dari perolehan dana IPO akan digunakan untuk pengembangan bus AKAP, angkutan perbatasan terintegrasi busway (APTB), bus kota terintegrasi busway (BKTB), serta rekondisi bus lama.

Kemudian, 16 persen atau senilai Rp 19,8 miliar hingga Rp 24,6 miliar akan dipakai untuk fasilitas atau infrastruktur depo dan workshop bus TransJakarta di Ceger, Jakarta Timur. Sedangkan, 3 persen atau antara Rp 3,7 miliar sampai Rp 4,6 miliar akan ditempatkan sebagai modal kerja.

Salat Bus Malam Terobos Bursa

Saat Bus Malam Terobos Bursa

BUDI ALIMUDDIN - detikNews

Jakarta - Elman Amin, pria kecil paruh baya berkopiah putih, duduk dengan gelisah. Berkali-kali ia melihat arloji di tangan kirinya. "Harusnya kami sudah di atas kapal penyeberangan sore ini," ucapnya. Ia sudah belasan jam menempuh perjalanan dari Malang, Jawa Timur, dan hendak ke kampung halamannya di Rajabasa, Lampung.

Mestinya bus yang ia naiki, PO Lorena, sudah membawanya menyeberang feri. Tapi salah satu roda bus itu bermasalah, sehingga mesti berhenti beberapa jam di depo bus di kawasan Cilandak, Jakarta Selatan, untuk perbaikan. Kegelisahan pemilik kebun karet itu berakhir setelah bus itu segera meninggalkan puluhan bus di depo tersebut dan bergerak menuju Pekanbaru.

Bus antarprovinsi yang ia naiki adalah andalan bisnis PT Eka Sari Lorena Transport. Perusahaan ini tinggal selangkah menjadi operator bus malam atau bus jarak jauh pertama yang melepas saham di bursa. Langkah ini dilakukan meski bus jarak jauh di Indonesia sangat terpukul oleh hadirnya maskapai penerbangan murah. Maskapai ini membuat tarif pesawat tidak terlalu beda jauh dengan bus tapi memiliki waktu tempuh sangat pendek. 

Meski begitu, Lorena optimistis. "(Kami) optimistis pasar saham akan merespons saham kami," kata Andy Porman Tambunan, Sekretaris Perusahaan Lorena. Ia yakin mereka tetap bisa mendapatkan hasil bagus dari penjualan saham mereka meski mereka perusahaan transportasi darat. "Kami tidak mau disamakan dengan mereka," katanya, dalam majalah detik edisi 123, merujuk pada perusahaan bus lain yang sudah melantai di bursa.

1. You see different people everyday - Maybe I am just weird, but I find watching and listening to people on the bus to be rather interesting. Sometimes I even talked to the bus driver and other random people. I guess the travel experience is just not as lonely as driving because there are other people with you. Once in a while I would see a neighbor or friend, and it was always fun to chat in person.

2. Public transit helps the environment - This is true for areas with high population density. If everyone in the Bay Area that rides the train or bus everyday drove instead then this place will probably have unbreathable air and the traffic would be even more horrendous than it already is now. When you ride the bus or train you are sharing resources with your community, and that cuts down on pollution.

3. You can use your travel time for leisure - On a bus or train you can read a book, play a game, or even chat with your friends on the computer if internet is available. When you drive you have to concentrate on driving. I read many books when I was a bus rider, and also got really familiar with the main routes of the cities around the Bay just by watching the bus routes. It is also pretty relaxing to just take a little nap.

4. Public transit makes you exercise more - I firmly believe that I gained quite a bit of weight over the last couple years because I drive everyday. In the days when I rode the bus I walked more than a mile each day to and from the bus stop or train station. Unless the bus stop is right in front of your house, you generally have to walk a little bit, and that bit of exercise could mean 10 to 15 pounds over the years.

5. Car ownership is generally more expensive - The amount of money needed to purchase a car can generally finance public transit fees for years. Many workplaces also give incentives for public transportation such as discounted passes or reimbursements. Many large companies here in the South Bay also have free bus and train passes under their EcoPass program. The savings are quite significant over months and years.

Of course, there are many inconveniences associated with public transportation. For example, a lot of busses are often late, and go on roundabout routes. There are also crazy bus drivers that do not stop when requested, and also scary passengers that you want to get away from. Sometimes a bus could be so crowded that you can barely breathe. However, most of the times my experiences have been pleasant. I still use public transit from time to time to go to San Francisco because parking is nearly impossible in that city. I also take the BART train to the airport because it costs about 1/10 the amount of hiring a taxi. So even if you cannot part with your car, taking public transit can save you money if you take it occasionally. What about you? Are you a fan or hater of public transit? I was such a bus aficionado I did not learn to drive until I was 20. I knew several bus routes by heart and traveled all around the San Francisco Bay via busses or the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). Right now I live in San Mateo where the public transit is not as prevalent, and I really miss the days when I got everywhere with a bus pass. Since I am feeling nostalgic today I am going to write down why I love public transportation, and I hope I can live in a place with a lot of public transit again.

Jokowi: Mau Murah Naik Metromini, Mau Pakai AC Naik BKTB

Oleh Andi Muttya Keteng

Posted: 05/02/2014 15:09

Gubernur DKI Jakarta Joko Widodo (Liputan6.com/Herman Zakharia)

Liputan6.com, Jakarta : Bus Kota Terintegrasi Busway (BKTB) jurusan Pantai Indah Kapuk-Monumen Nasional (Monas) mulai beroperasi. Gubernur DKI Jakarta Joko Widodo meresmikan beroperasinya 18 unit BKTB di kawasan Waterboom Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), Jakarta Utara.

Bus itu akan melewati sejumlah halte seperti Pantai Mutiara, Gedong Panjang, Museum Fatahillah, Monas, dan Gambir. Jokowi mengimbau sopir Metromini atau angkutan lainnya tidak khawatir dengan kehadiran BKTB.

"BKTB ini tidak mungkin bertabrakan dengan Metromini karena pangsa pasarnya beda," ujarnya di kawasan Waterboom PIK, Jakarta Utara, Rabu (5/2/2014).
Selain itu, lanjut Jokowi, fasilitas dan pelayanannya juga berbeda. Begitu juga dengan tarif BKTB yang 2 kali lipat dari tarif Metromini. BKTB lebih ditujukan untuk warga kelas menengah atas, sehingga penumpang sendiri yang akan memilih menggunakan angkutan yang mana.
"Metromini Rp 3.000, BKTB Rp 6.000. Kalau mau murah naik Metromini, mau pakai AC naik BKTB," kata Jokowi.

Titik-titik pemberhentian BKTB 01 PIK-Monas ini di antarannya Fresh Market Pluit-Ruko Cordova-RS. PIK-Taman Suaka Margasatwa Angke-Jembatan Muara Angke-Green Bay-Pantai Mutiara-SMKN 54-Landmark-Pakin-Gedong Panjang-Museum Fatahillah-Kota-Harmoni-Monas-Balaikota-Gambir-Tugu Tani-Telkom.

Tarif tiket yang diterapkan untuk BKTB 01 adalah sebesar Rp 6.000 dan beroperasi selama 17 jam, dari pukul 05.00 WIB hingga 22.00 WIB. (Ado/Ism)

Lonjakan Penumpang Kereta, Polisi Yogya Siaga

TEMPO.CO, Yogyakarta - Kepolisian Kota Besar Kota Yogyakarta menurunkan ratusan personel untuk mengamankan lonjakan penumpang di pusat-pusat transportasi setelah hujan abu Gunung Kelud.

”Pihak kereta api dan terminal meminta kami menyiagakan personel karena mulai ada lonjakan penumpang signifikanakibat bencana abu Kelud ini,” kata Kepala Kepolisian Kota Besar Yogyakarta Ajun Komisaris Besar Polisi Slamet Santoso saat ditemui Tempo, Sabtu, 15 Februari 2014.

Slamet menambahkan, untuk Stasiun Tugu dan Lempuyangan, Yogyakarta, saat ini telah disiagakan masing-masing 30 orang di area stasiun. Sedangkan di Terminal Giwangan diturunkan 20 orang.

Dari laporan PT Kereta Api Indonesia kepada kepolisian per Jumat, 14 Februari 2014, lonjakan penumpang kereta setelah bencana abu Kelud ini naik mendekati 50 persen. “Ada 8.000 penumpang kereta dari rata-rata 5.000 penumpang tiap akhir pekan. Ini yang kami antisipasi, sisi keamanannya," kata dia.

Adapun mulai hari ini Terminal Induk Giwangan Yogyakarta terpantau mulai berangsur normal. “Sudah ada beberapa armada yang melayani pemberangkatan dari Yogya, tapi belum full semua,” kata petugas Terminal Giwangan, Kardiyono. Sejumlah armada yang melayani penumpang seperti bus-bus jurusan Yogya-Jawa Tengah. “Mungkin terminal juga masih dibersihkan dari abu,” kata Kardiyono.

Sedangkan Koordinator Paguyuban Bus Perkotaan Yogyakarta Benny Susanto menuturkan, mulai Sabtu ini, sejumlah armada sudah mulai melayani penumpang. “Tapi hanya 40 persen yang turun dari total 300 armada. Sebab, belum semua jalan bersih dan tak banyak penumpang juga seperti hari normal, hemat solar juga,” kata dia.

Sejumlah bus dalam kota yang melayani penumpang itu kebanyakan menghindari seputaran Malioboro. Meski patokan yang digunakan tetap jalur yang mengarah ke Malioboro, seperti jalur 4 A, 4 B, dan jalur 15. “Malioboro masih ditutup untuk pembersihan, jadi tidak kami lewati,” kata dia. 

How Are Agencies Making the Transportation System More Resilient?

Transportation authorities around the world are grappling with ways to deal with the effects of rising sea level and extreme weather events. These events are more frequent and intense, and often cause flooding and destruction of transportation infrastructure.
Two invited speakers at Volpe, The National Transportation Systems Center, provided valuable information for transportation professionals. Volpe's speaker series, Transportation System Resilience, Extreme Weather, and Climate Change brings together distinguished experts to discuss challenges, opportunities, and fresh approaches related to these pressing issues.

Dr. Klaus H. Jacob

Dr. Klaus H. Jacob, one of TIME Magazine’s People Who Mattered in 2012, spoke about his efforts to model the effects of a hypothetical coastal storm with a 100-year storm surge on New York City.
Hurricane Sandy, which struck the northeast in October 2012, was very similar to the storm Dr. Jacob modeled and caused nearly the same effects that he had predicted. As a result, New York public officials, aware of Dr. Jacob’s research, proactively shut down the subway system and erected barriers at some locations to mitigate some of the worst effects of flooding.
Dr. Jacob, a geophysicist and special research scientist at Columbia University, discussed his approach to modeling storm surge and transportation impacts, displaying many of the flood projection maps that were widely available in the popular media.
Key lessons learned from Dr. Jacob’s work are that it is possible to anticipate the effects of extreme weather events with a high level of fidelity, and through preparation, it is possible to mitigate some of the effects.
Dr. Jacob noted that officials within different transportation modes need to take into account sea level rise and climate change when developing strategic plans. His research indicates that sea level rise will accelerate by about six feet by the end of the century.
He argued that transportation systems need to be designed and retrofitted to be adaptively resilient. Until systems become adaptively resilient, robust operational emergency plans and temporary protection measures must be readied for use on very short notice.
“We cannot afford to do nothing,” Dr. Jacob said. He believes that the incurred economic losses resulting from future storms similar to Hurricane Sandy will be four to ten times greater than the costs of implementing transportation resiliency measures.
