Abstract: This research examines the Batanghari Regency Government’s policy on coal transportation. This study sees that Jambi Province has quite large natural coal resources. The latest data shows that coal reserves in Jambi Province are estimated at 1.9 billion tons of coal. The large income generated from coal mining is good for the State, Regional Government, including workers in coal mining, making some people switch jobs to become coal transport drivers. In this context, Batanghari Regency is an area in Jambi Province that has coal mining and is also the main route for coal transportation to the demolition site. These causes the number of coal transportation to increase, creating congestion, air pollution and accidents, including in Batanghari Regency. The emergence of these recurring problems has made the majority of Batanghari residents hope that coal transportation will have a special road so as not to disturb the general public’s roads. This research method uses descriptive qualitative research with the findings explaining that the Batanghari Regency Government through the Transportation Agency with the assistance of the Batanghari Police has issued several policies regarding the regulation of coal transportation to avoid existing problems but the results have not been optimal. A comprehensive and measurable policy from various relevant stakeholders is needed to regulate coal transportation.
