ANALISIS YURIDIS KEBIJAKAN DAN DAMPAK OJEK ONLINE TERHADAP HUKUM TRANSPORTASI DIGITAL DI KOTA TANGERANG

Abstract

The development of digital transportation, particularly online motorcycle taxi services, has transformed the face of mobility in various cities, including Tangerang City. This phenomenon is not merely a technological trend but also raises legal, social, and public policy implications that require comprehensive analysis. The growth rate of online motorcycle taxi services in Tangerang has reached 50% over the past two years, driven by advancements in information and communication technology. This study aims to: (1) examine the dynamics of online motorcycle taxi development and the alignment of its regulations with prevailing laws and regulations; (2) analyse the regulatory gap between central and local governments in the implementation of digital transportation legislation; (3) identify structural and resource constraints in regulatory enforcement and formulate recommendations for strengthening institutional capacity and human resources. Theoretically, this research enriches the literature on digital transportation law and broadens perspectives on technology-based public policy. Practically, it provides applicable policy recommendations for the government, legal guidelines for application companies, rights awareness for drivers, and legal awareness for service users. Using a juridical-sociological approach, this research finds that digital transportation policies in Tangerang City are not yet fully responsive to technological developments and social needs. The main issues include gaps between central and local regulations, weak supervision, and inadequate driver protection. The study’s recommendations emphasise regulatory harmonisation, improved legal protection, stakeholder engagement, and integrating sustainability principles into digital transportation policy.
