East Java Provincial Roads are very important infrastructure in supporting the economic and social activities of the community. However, the diverse road conditions—ranging from minor to severe damage—pose a serious challenge to smooth transportation and various economic activities. Limited maintenance budgets, coupled with increased traffic loads, exacerbate this situation. Therefore, determining priorities in handling roads is a crucial step to ensure the effectiveness of budget use and optimization of benefits for the community. The method used to determine the priority of road handling is Multi-Criteria Analysis. This study aims to formulate road handling priorities in East Java Province by considering various factors. These factors are grouped into two broad categories: policy and technical. In terms of policy, the main considerations include conformity with the Strategic Plan of the East Java Provincial Public Works Office (Renstra), which contains priority policies for regional development and the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW). Meanwhile, for technical factors, attention is paid to several things, such as road width, road stability conditions, traffic volume, and degree of saturation. The results of this research are expected to be recommendations for local governments in formulating more effective and sustainable road management policies.
