PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System Ready to Accelerate the Implementation of Seamless Toll Roads in Indonesia with Support from Various Sectors
Jakarta, 20 October 2025 - As part of the digital transformation of Indonesia’s national transportation infrastructure, PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System (PT RITS), the enabler of Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) GNSS based technology, continues to strengthen its systems comprehensively—covering technology readiness, infrastructure enforcement, build personnel capacity, and expand collaboration with various key stakeholders. To support the implementation of this system, more than half of the total USD 300 million investment fund provided by the Government of Hungary through PT RITS has been realized over the past four years since the contract was signed. This reflects PT RITS resilience and long-term commitment to fully funding the project. Attila Keszeg, President Director of PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System , stated: “With full funding secured for this project, we are committed to working closely with various key stakeholders to ensure the optimal implementation of the Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system. PT RITS is fully ready to deploy the MLFF technology, supported by a complete ecosystem that includes payment systems, the Cantas application, On-Board Unit (OBU) devices, 24-hours Customer Service, as well as other updated devices and infrastructure with the newest technology. In addition, PT RITS continues to enhance its security standards, including the establishment of a Computer Security Incident Response Team as mandated by Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara (BSSN). We are also ready to adopt necessary changes in technology based on Indonesia’s needs. Ir. R. Sony Sulaksono Wibowo, MT, PHD, BPJT Member, Stakeholder Element stated “the main actor in the system is toll road operation. We want this technology to be smooth and can be accepted by the toll road operator. We are as the Toll road authority, have to meet this integration soon and consider. Attila also stated before that it is not easy to unite many stakeholders. One of them is the Law Enforcement from Korlantas. Because the Korlantas need a regulator of our umbrella regarding law enforcement. I hope we can work together as fast”. With all preparations and tangible progress completed, the success and acceleration of this initiative now depend entirely on the readiness and commitment of the Indonesian government. “We believe that with the government’s support and readiness, the MLFF project development can proceed optimally. Moreover, this project is designated as the National Strategic Projects of 2024 during Jokowi's era and re-designated in 2025, at Prabowo's Era. We understand that the Minister of Public Works is currently reviewing various technical and regulatory aspects of the MLFF system. Therefore, we look forward to further steps from the relevant authorities to realize the planned implementation acceleration,” added Renaldi Utomo, Director of PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System . Responding to this readiness, the Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara (BSSN)—as the national cybersecurity authority—expressed its support for the system’s implementation from the digital security perspective. Nur Achmadi Salmawan, Director of Cyber Security and Crypto for ICT, Media, and Transportation Sector BSSN , stated: “The implementation of MLFF technology supported by GNSS is an important step in upgrading and modernizing Indonesia’s national toll system. We are supporting MLFF as well until this project is implemented in Indonesia. PT RITS has also formed the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) to ensure the system’s safety and reliability.” The feasibility study conducted by PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System in 2020 revealed that congestion on toll roads causes national economic losses exceeding USD 300 million per year. It was also added by the World Bank statement in 2019 that Indonesia exceeds 4 USD billion yearly. The introduction of the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system is expected to improve traffic efficiency while reducing emissions and negative environmental impacts and also increase Indonesia’s revenue. The MLFF technology developed by PT RITS utilizes the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), a real-time location-based technology already implemented in Hungary. Over 11 years, MLFF implementation in Hungary has increased national revenue by fivefold, or approximately 392%. Based on Hungary’s proven success, the MLFF system in Indonesia is also expected to significantly boost national economic growth. With a track record of success in multiple countries, this technology represents a strategic leap for Indonesia in the evolution of global toll payment systems—from cash and tap-based methods to a fully touchless, GNSS-based system accessible through smartphones. Through a multi-channel approach, toll road users will soon be able to choose their preferred payment methods—via the CANTAS application, On-Board Unit (OBU) devices, or route tickets . Previously, MLFF was designated as a National Strategic Project (PSN) not funded by the state budget (non-APBN) in May 2024, based on the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Regulation No. 6/2024, which amended Regulation No. 7/2021 concerning the List of National Strategic Projects. PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System (PT RITS) was appointed as the Implementing Business Entity (BUP) for the MLFF program after winning the tender, as stated in Minister of PUPR Letter No. PB.02.01-Mn/132 dated January 27, 2021. Then, based on the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Regulation No. 16/2025, PT RITS has once again been designated as a National Strategic Project in 2025. PT RITS continues to open broader collaboration opportunities with ministries, technology providers, and private sectors to accelerate the comprehensive and phased implementation of MLFF in Indonesia. PT RITS also hopes that continued commitment and readiness from the relevant ministries will enable the swift realization of the MLFF system rollout.
