Abstract:
This study aims to examine the role and effectiveness of the Indonesian Application Drivers Association (PPAI) in providing legal protection for online motorcycle taxi drivers. Along with the development of technology and the digital economy, the application-based transportation sector is increasingly popular in Indonesia. However, behind this progress, there are legal challenges faced by online motorcycle taxi drivers, especially related to the protection of their rights. This article examines the regulations and policies implemented by PPAI and their implementation in providing legal protection for online motorcycle taxi drivers. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. Data were obtained through literature studies from relevant legal and regulatory sources and interviews with online motorcycle taxi drivers and legal practitioners. The Indonesian government has issued various regulations to protect online motorcycle taxi drivers, but challenges in their implementation still exist, including the lack of responsibility of online motorcycle taxi companies for driver safety and the lack of legal awareness among drivers themselves. Even so, PPAI plays an important role in ensuring that drivers' rights are protected through legal assistance, training, and education on driving ethics. These efforts aim to improve the welfare, dignity, and provide legal certainty for application drivers.
