Urban bus reform so-called Trans Koetaradja (TK) is regarded as a potential urban transport policy aiming at alleviating autos traffic congestion and mitigating highly private mode dependency in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The new bus system proposed by the Government has been operated since early 2018, and it remains free of fare services due to subsidy provide by the Government as the bus corridors have been expanded the budget getting escalating year by year. To reduce the burden of subsidies, the Government intends to drop monetary aid by applying full fare for the bus. However, declining the subsidy could affect bus ridership, especially low-income households whose captive riders may not afford the ticket. It hypothesizes that the travel cost budget (TCB) has significantly influenced the ability to pay for a particular household to afford the bus fare. The TCB for this study defines the maximum amount of money allocated by a specific family for their transportation within a month. Therefore, this study is aiming at exploring factors that effecting the households' transportation expenditures, taking into account household life stages (HLS) among TK' bus users. The use of revealed preference data obtained in 2019, the regression analysis of the ordinary least square (OLS) method, was used to calibrate and teste the exogenous variables across HLS. To simplify, the HLS in this study is segmented as early, middle, and established HLS. The distribution of TCB across HLS revealed that the share of transport expenditure on average to their monthly income had shared about 10-11 %. The finding from the OLS indicates that the variables of the female gender, monthly income, and the number of owned motorcycles have significant contributions to the TCB. The most significant finding is the impact of monthly income on the TCB across HLS. It exhibited early, and middle HLS has shown more spending share on income compared to the established HLS

On-street parking leads to reduced road capacity and decreased traffic performance of the certain road. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of on-street parking based on road performance. The study was conducted at Central Business District namely Peunayong, Banda Aceh. Based on the Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (IHCM) one of the performance parameter values is Degree of Saturation (DS). The data needed for calculation of DS are the geometric conditions, traffic volume and the side frictions. The results indicate that on-street parking facilities on segment 2 of Khairil Anwar Street should be evaluated, as the DS value is greater than 0.75 (unstable road condition), by changing parking patterns into a parallel configuration or eliminating parking facilities. Furthermore, the parking configuration of R.A. Kartini Street also needs to be rearranged. Despite the stable road performance, this road is uncomfortable to pass because there is only one lane remained due to unfeasible parking patterns and existence of street market along the segment. The road performance of Khairil Anwar Street (segment 1), Ahmad Yani Street, W.R Supratman Street, T.P. Polem Street, Twk. Daudsyah Street and Ratu Safiatuddin Street is in stable condition, with DS < 0.75. This indicating that on-street parking facilities can be maintained. While as for the W.R. Supratman and Ahmad Yani Street should be evaluated in year of 2019 to avoid traffic jam along this corridors.

Jalan raya memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda-beda yang lama-kelamaan akan mengalami kerusakan. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan mutu campuran laston lapis aus (AC-WC) adalah dengan memodifikasi campuran aspal dengan menambahkan bahan polimer yaitu limbah styrofoam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik Marshall Test dari substitui penggunaan styrofoam sebagai substitusi aspal pen. 60/70 dan abu serbuk kayu sebagai filler abu serbuk kayu terhadap campuran laston lapis aus (AC-WC) dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh rendaman dengan variasi waktu 30 menit dan 24 jam. Metode pengujian yaitu pengujian Marshall dan durabilitas pada kadar aspal optimum terbaik dengan menggunakan metode cara basah. Hasil penelitian diperoleh kadar aspal optimum (KAO) yaitu 6,50%, kombinasi campuran abu serbuk kayu dan semen Portland yang terbaik didapat dengan perbandingan 25% ASK dan 75% PC dengan nilai KAO 6,05%, nilai stabilitas tertinggi didapat pada variasi styrofoam 9% dengan KAO 6,50% yaitu 1249,01 kg. Nilai durabilitas pada kombinasi filler tidak memenuhi spesifikasi yaitu sebesar 81,76 %  dan kombinasi campuran styrofoam dengan filler abu serbuk kayu dan semen Portland didapat sebesar 96,51% sesuai dengan spesifikasi Umum Bina Marga Revisi 4 tahun 2018 yaitu 90%.

The roadway geometric designing must consider as optimal as possible time spent in designing and building a road. This study aims to determine the results of road geometric design using manual calculation methods and calculations by using AutoCAD Civil 3D Student Version 2016 with a case study of St. Mandeh STA 30 + 000 -STA 37 + 000. The design scope consists of horizontal alignment design, superelevation, and vertical alignment. The method used by reference standard of AASHTO 2011, and for criteria design used by Bina Marga 1997 standard. The results of the horizontal alignment design, obtained 6 SCS curves, 3 FC curves, and 5 SS curves. The manual calculation results are the same as the results of AutoCAD Civil 3D calculations for FC curves and SCS curves. For the SS curve, the result difference is <0.2 m. AutoCAD Civil 3D only calculates the superelevation of FC curve and SCS curve, then the calculation of SS curve have done by manual design. In the vertical alignment design there were 4 crest vertical curves and 3 sag vertical curves with a slope of 0.02% -5.23% approprite the maximum slope requirement of 11%. The length of crest and sag vertical curve Lv approprite the K value requirement for stopping visibility and preceding visibility.
