As many as 60 people participate in the event, coming from PK4L, Gama Medical Center, Academic Hospital, faculties, etc.

Head of PK4L, Arif Nurcahyo, S.Psi., M.A., said traffic was one of important aspects of life. Disruption in this case will disrupt others, too.

“At least, economic distribution will be affected, education and goods distribution, too,” he said  in Auditorium of Faculty of Forestry UGM on Wednesday (25/7).

He said the socialisation was to refresh the road users of traffic compliance. It has to be acknowledged that some people still violate traffic regulations.

Head of Transportation of the Sleman Transportation Agency, Marjanto, S.SiT., M.T., said the socialisation was to remind road users to always follow order. He said traffic was heavy presently in Sleman. He reminded the participants that UGM has a vital role because the traffic at UGM will highly affect the traffic in Sleman.

“I am pleased that this event will refresh our knowledge about traffic. And this is the third cooperation after last time we collaborated in vehicle emission test,” he said.

Event participants were given materials on traffic order and safe helmet, traffic law, driving license, and simulation of accident handling.

Rector said businessmen were also facing challenges to survive in the growing competition. To deal with the issue, there were two choices, said the Rector, to be made by graduates, namely to adapt and start make innovation or remain in the current condition with the risk of having old systems and being replaced by modernity.

What has been done by UGM so far, said the Rector, was prioritising the spirit of socio-entrepreneurship, keep moving forward along with the demand of times, making innovations in educating students and equipping them with the required skills. The Rector further expected the graduates to keep the spirit of innovation in their career. UGM graduates have the responsibility to contribute their knowledge to the benefit of the wider public. “You will always need to apply your knowledge to society and the state whilst still upholding the value of truth,” he said.
