Dear all, 

MEB which are supported by Swisscontact, Pelangi, KPBB, Ministry of
Environment, Girigahana, Mateksapala, Cicera, Untala, Koral, Kempala,
Kerabat WWF, Masyarakat Komik Indonesia, Walhi Jakarta, US-AEP, the
Local Government of Greater Jakarta and other institutions will organize
Jakarta Car Free Day on 21 September 2003.  The event will be held in
Jalan Sudirman and Jalan Thamrin, the 2 protocol roads in business
district area in Jakarta, where the motor vehicle can not entry to both
roads on 6.00 am - 2.00 pm.  Along the Car Free Day event will be held
aerobic, fun bike, healthy walk, street soccer, family game, music, talk
show, traditional food bazaar, etc. and it is predicted will be attended
by 10 thousand of Jakartan.

The Jakarta Car Free Day is conducted to encourage policy reform on
transport management through Jakartan Movement to combat air pollution.
Through the event, hopefully it will encourage policy reform on
transport management, so in the future Jakarta transport will be
developed in balancing between mass public vehicle versus private car,
balancing between road base development versus rail base, balancing
between motorized transport and non motorized transport.

Regards from Jakarta

Puput
