Dubai Roads and Transport Authority

The Government of Dubai's roads and transportation authority.

Founded in 2005, the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) is an independent entity responsible for planning, executing, and maintaining Dubai's road and transportation systems. Its mandate encompasses all land and marine transport, including the Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram, public buses, marine transport, and the regulation of taxis and vehicle licensing.

The RTA is currently expanding its infrastructure with the Dubai Metro Blue Line and pursuing the Dubai Self-Driving Transport Strategy, which aims to transition 25% of total trips in Dubai to autonomous modes by 2030.

As a primary investor in Dubai's infrastructure and a shaper of the city's urban landscape, the RTA is a critical partner for organizations specializing in smart-city technology, infrastructure, and autonomous mobility.
