Malang has shown an annual vehicle growth of 15%. However, it is an umfortunate fact that 32% of 44 main streets are identified as having low service level, according to a local transportation ranking report. Such condition results in the decline of average vehicle velocity, approaching to the level of velocity (v) = 0; or in other words, street saturation degree could reach >1. The condition is not proportional to the increase of CO concentration in Malang in 2013-2014 as shown in the result of Evaluation of City Air Quality in 2014 which jumped from 3000 μm/m3 in 2013 to almost 5000 μm/m3 in 2014. This study was aimed at evaluating the extend to which street-service-level variables influence the production of CO emission from motorized transportation activity in an urban street in Malang. Gatot Subroto Street is chosen as a case study according to Multi Criteria Analysis. Furthermore, the street-service-level variables being evaluated include vehicle volume, velocity, side friction, effective roadside width and effective street width. Through a qualitative statistical analysis approach using a multiple linear regression analysis, the result suggests that vehicle volume and side friction are the most dominant factors (Xi) that significantly influence CO emission loads (Y). © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
