Abstract
The paper aims to analyze the rapid development of toll road in Indonesia as it may not align to green development which reduces Green Houses Gases (GHG). However, this policy would contradict to green campaign and the commitment of the government of Indonesia to reduce Green Houses Gases (GHG) based on Paris agreement. The toll road development may threaten sustainability due to emission by motor vehicles. The research analyzed the toll road data with traffic volume and planned to new road development. It uses secondary data from toll operator and other related data such as carbon emission, and vehicle production. Descriptive analysis applied to explain the related issues in green development and sustainability. Toll road development may cause people to use the private car rather than public transportation such as train which have lower carbon emission. Toll road can be a trigger for the increase of emission as people may be comfortable using private car. Even though the volume of cars may decrease as there were restrictions to heavy toll road repairs, it is only temporary. Thus, comfort factor may result in people’s reluctance to use public transportation. Therefore, the development of a new toll road should be evaluated, and priority and long term goal factors must be given important consideration.
