SARS-Cov-2 spreads quickly and continues to do so to this day. One way to limit the spread is by limiting people's mobility through transportation. The Provincial Government of Jakarta has implemented the Large-Scale Social Restriction Transitional Phase-1 since June 5
th , 2020, to limit people mobility and the odd-even policies August 3rd , 2020, to limit private vehicles. To assess the effectiveness of these policies against the positivity rate of COVID-19 cases in Jakarta, we used data exploration and significant tests (pre- and post-condition). The result shows that the odd-even policy significantly impacts private transportation mobility, mobility in public transportation, and the COVID-19 positivity rate in Jakarta. The relationship between those three parameters is linearly significant. The odd-even policy stimulates people to switch from private to public transportations and increases the positivity rate of COVID-19. The odd-even policy effectively reduces the mobility of private transportation but insignificantly reduces the positivity rate of COVID-19 in Jakarta. The results can be used as insights for policy decision-makers to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
