The paper discusses the impact of transportation on carbon emissions in Bogor, Indonesia, and introduces the TARIK program to boost public transportation usage and decrease the carbon footprint. It presents calculations of carbon emissions before and after the TARIK implementation, demonstrating a reduction in emissions. The TARIK program comprises a mobile app for convenient access to public transportation details and payments, along with an Intelligent Transportation System to optimize fleet size and cut emissions. The program's introduction in Bogor City is anticipated to lower the carbon footprint by 11.02% to 29.02% weekly. Recommendations for supporting facilities include enhancing sidewalks, building bike lanes, improving shelter facilities, and incorporating green open spaces to encourage public transportation use and emission reduction, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals.
