Abstract
Medan City is one of the cities with the largest population in Indonesia. As the
population increases, the transportation needs of Medan City are also increasing
rapidly. Although the city of Medan has quite complete transportation facilities, the
transportation system in Medan City is still messy. Some people still complain about
the current transportation system. With the increasing number of vehicles being the
main cause of air pollution and usually causing congestion, the Medan city
transportation agency must take serious steps to deal with this problem. In the context
of sustainable tourism, the integration of electric transport systems is a promising
solution to address these challenges. The application of electric transportation not
only provides environmental benefits, but also has a positive impact on the tourism
sector. The use of electric vehicles can enhance the tourist experience by reducing
noise levels and air pollution around attractions. It also helps in improving the image
of Medan City as a tourist destination that cares about the environment. The purpose
of this paper is to analyze the introduction of electric transportation as part of a
sustainable tourism strategy in Medan City, highlighting its potential to reduce
emissions and pollution, as well as increase environmentally friendly mobility in the
region. By combining the potential of electric transportation technology with the
unique challenges and opportunities facing Medan City, this paper can help

strengthen the city's sustainable transportation infrastructure while considering the
growing needs of tourism.
1. Introduction
Medan City is the capital city of North Sumatra Province which has an area of

Indonesia. With a population of more than two million, Medan City is categorized as
a metropolitan city. As the provincial capital classified as a metropolitan city, Medan
City is a parameter for the progress of other cities in North Sumatra Province.
Although Medan City has fairly complete transportation facilities but the
transportation system in Medan City is still messy, some people still complain about
the current transportation system, the increasing number of vehicles is the main cause
of air pollution and usually causes congestion. In the context of sustainable tourism,
the integration of electric transport systems is a promising solution to address these
challenges.

This study aims to understand how the integration of electric transportation
systems can overcome traffic congestion in Medan City and improve accessibility to
major tourist destinations such as the Great Mosque, Kesawan, and Maimun Palace.
With a focus on sustainable solutions, the study will investigate the potential role of
electric transport in designing more efficient and environmentally friendly mobility
strategies in the city. In addition, this research will also create an infographic that
provides a clear picture of the transformation of the electric vehicle ecosystem in
Indonesia, providing broader insight into the development of sustainable
transportation technology at the national level and its potential impact on
environmental sustainability.

While sustainable transportation systems according to the Center of
Sustainable Transportation are:
1. Enable access to the basic needs of individuals and communities that must be
met safely and consistently for human health and ecosystems, and by equity
between generations and generations.
According to John Sulistyadi et al. (2019: 3-4) The benefits that can be
obtained from sustainable tourism are:

environmentally friendly will increase the prosperity and purchasing power
of the population, help reduce poverty and as consumption will re-enter the

local-level training and facilities for workforce capacity and capability
development.
Tourism destinations that are better managed and sustainable can attract
more qualified tourists. As well as being able to reach target groups from
various market sources. In industrial practices, it does not interfere with
society and the environment, but rather contributes to the sustainability of
the region / region.

as passenger information systems and traffic management, can control
vehicle flow and reduce congestion.
1. Efficiency and Speed: Electric vehicles tend to be more efficient and able to
provide faster service than fossil fuel-powered vehicles This allows tourists to
reach destinations such as the Grand Mosque, Kesawan, and Maimun Palace
faster
a. Convenience: Electric transportation systems are often equipped with the latest
technology to improve passenger comfort, such as real-time information and
electronic payment systems.

transportation can not only help minimize carbon emissions, but also can utilize
renewable energy, in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. To
achieve this, concrete steps are needed such as designing and implementing policies
that support the development of electric transportation and provide incentives for
investment and use of electric vehicles. In addition, education and socialization
efforts to the public about the benefits of electric transportation for the environment
and local economy also need to be increased to increase public awareness and
participation in realizing more sustainable transportation in Medan City.
