The number of students in DKI Jakarta is 1.9 million, or equivalent to 15.21% of the 10.6 million population of DKI Jakarta. Assuming that each student makes two daily trips (to and from school), around 3.8 million trips per day are made by students in DKI Jakarta, this figure is equivalent to 16.24% of the total daily trips in DKI Jakarta. Due to the high use of private vehicles both independently and with parents and the lack of use of school buses, public transportation, and especially non-motorized transport by students on school trips, this study aims to model student travel mode choices to be able to formulate strategies and policies to increase Non-Motorized Transport (walking or cycling) among DKI Jakarta students. This study involved 573 students as respondents based on stratified random sampling from 12 junior high schools, 4 senior high schools, and 6 vocational schools in 8 districts of Central Jakarta. Filling out the questionnaire was done face to face. The stated preference data collection method with 4 modes (Non-Motorized Transport, School Buses, Public transport, and Private Vehicles), 9 attributes, 2 attribute levels, and 8 scenarios. The existing mode choice of 573 students is School buses chosen by 2.27% of students, NonMotorized Transport 18.67%, Private Vehicles 61.61% and Public Transportation 17.45%. Factors that influence the existing mode choice of students are gender, school level, family size, amount of pocket money, parents' occupation, distance from home to school, travel time, ownership of a motorized vehicle, and ownership of a bicycle. While the factors that influence the choice of preference mode are free bicycle facilities, Safe and Safe School Routes, school bus travel time, public transportation travel time, private vehicle costs, age, school level, motorized vehicle ownership, driver's license ownership, and student pocket money. Based on the 8 scenarios offered, 33.79% of students chose school buses, 27.79% NMT, 23.60% private vehicles, and 14.81% public transportation. Non-Motorized Transport is the majority chosen by respondents in scenario 5, reaching 75.57% with the variable availability of free bicycle facilities, RASS together, and 30 minutes of travel time. This is an indicator of how the strategy is to increase the use of NonMotorized Transport modes among students by presenting both these factors together. This is also evidenced by the statement that 57.08% of students who previously used motorized vehicles would definitely want to switch modes by cycling if these two free bicycles and RASS factors were available, and as many as 59.01% of students said they would definitely want to walk if RASS and walking travel time were not more than 30 minutes
