Evaluasi Efektivitas Kegiatan Ramp Check dalam Peningkatan Keselamatan Transportasi Umum: Studi Kasus di Terminal Ir. Soekarno, Klaten

Abstract

Passenger transportation safety is a primary priority for reducing accidents and enhancing public trust in public transport modes. This study evaluates the effectiveness of ramp check activities conducted at Ir. Soekarno Terminal Ir. Soekarno Klaten  during the Eid holiday travel period. The aim of the ramp check is to ensure that public vehicles meet established safety standards and that drivers are in good health. Out of a total of 513 inspected vehicles, 461 buses (89.86%) were deemed roadworthy, while 52 buses (10.14%) did not meet eligibility requirements. Findings indicate the presence of administrative and technical violations, including invalid documents and subpar braking systems. Driver health checks were also identified as a key factor in reducing accident risks. This study recommends increasing the frequency of inspections, implementing digital technology, and providing ongoing training for officers to enhance the effectiveness of the ramp check program.
