Upaya Dinas Perhubungan Kabupaten Siak Dalam Menertibkan Travel Ilegal Untuk Mengantisipasi Terjadinya Tindak Kejahatan (Studi Kasus Kecamatan Tualang Travel Perawang - Pekanbaru)

Abstract

Transportation plays a vital role in driving economic activity and facilitating mobility in Indonesia. Among the various transportation sectors, land transport is frequently utilized in daily life and is categorized into private and public transport. Literature indicates that many private vehicles used for transport, particularly in travel services, often operate without valid route permits. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach to gather data through observations and informants, which is then presented in a research report following the established research framework. The objective is to assess the efforts of the Siak Regency Transportation Office in regulating illegal travel services to mitigate potential criminal activities on the Perawang-Pekanbaru route. The findings reveal that, despite various initiatives, enforcement effectiveness remains limited.
