The public project selection is strongly related to government budgeting. That is why the projects need to be well prioritized. The objective of this study is to rank the toll road projects, so it can achieve the maximum objectives of the government’s program. This study use Fuzzy Multiple Objective Programming by combining of several methods and approaches to built the optimization formula. Fuzzy, because in this study we deal with vagueness of the decision makers’perception. Multiple Objective Programming, because we want to maximize objective subject to constraints. Entropy weight method for weighting the variables, and the establishment of fuzzy rule as the constraints were done in model development. Using LINDO’s software, we can get the optimal solutions. The last, the optimal value then was used as standard in rating the projects using Project Performance Index method. This study is usefull to support the government to make decision on budget prioritization.
