Pemilihan moda transportasi komuter Di permukiman formal pinggiran kota: pendekatan AHP

The selection of commuter transportation modes is an important aspect of transportation planning, especially in small to medium-sized suburban areas experiencing pressure from urbanization, growth in private vehicle ownership, and limited public transportation infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of importance of criteria and determine the most prioritized mode of transportation by commuters in formal suburban settlements, specifically in cities/districts that have the potential to experience regional development from small to medium-sized cities, such as Wonosobo. The research began by determining nine decision criteria (cost, time, distance, accessibility, safety, flexibility, security, comfort, weather) and decision alternatives (private car, motorcycle, app-based public transportation, and conventional public transportation). The next step was to distribute questionnaires randomly to several housing complexes located on the outskirts of Wonosobo and make decisions using the AHP method. The AHP results show that the choice of transportation mode in suburban settlements is more influenced by travel time, safety, and security as balancing factors in decision-making, with motorcycles being the most preferred alternative mode (0.427) compared to other modes. This shows that motorcycles are considered the most capable of meeting the need for relatively fast travel times and flexibility in limited transportation networks. This finding also reflects the high dependence of people in formal suburban settlements on private transportation modes due to the limited performance of public transportation. Recommendations for improvement to reduce the use of private vehicles in suburban settlements include the use of a park and ride system, as a travel management strategy that combines private vehicles and public transportation in an integrated manner to create more efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly transportation. This should also be balanced with public transportation services such as more reliable schedules and travel times, or if possible, the creation of special buses for school and work, especially during peak hours.
