This report presents the outcomes of a community service initiative conducted during the 2025 Eid Transportation period at Padangbai Port and Ferry Terminal, Karangasem Regency. The activity involved eight students from Politeknik Transportasi Darat Bali who were actively engaged from March 24 to April 8, 2025. Framed as a form of community engagement, this initiative aimed to contribute to improving public transportation services during a peak travel season while also fostering students’ social responsibility and applied knowledge. The main contributions included assisting in operational support at the Eid transportation post and conducting field observations and interviews at the BPTD Class II Padangbai Port Unit. The team identified key issues, such as limited parking capacity leading to road congestion and the malfunction of a weighbridge, allowing overloaded vehicles to pass unchecked. These findings led to actionable recommendations, including infrastructure improvements, stronger enforcement against overloading (ODOL), and enhanced public awareness campaigns. The program exemplified the role of higher education in supporting public service operations through student involvement, emphasizing the value of collaboration between academic institutions and government agencies in addressing transportation challenges during national holidays.
