RTA (Roads and Transport Authority)

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) was established in November 2005 to oversee the planning, development, and execution of transport and traffic projects in Dubai. Its mandate includes preparing legislation and strategic plans to ensure the city’s transportation systems meet the growing demands of residents and visitors.

RTA is responsible for the planning, construction, and management of the Dubai Metro, one of the region’s most advanced urban transit systems. Beyond rail, the authority develops integrated road networks and marine transport solutions, ensuring connectivity across the emirate and supporting seamless movement for people and goods.

The organization focuses on creating transport systems that are safe, efficient, and sustainable while aligning with Dubai’s broader economic development goals. By adhering to the highest international standards, RTA continues to play a key role in shaping the city’s infrastructure and supporting its growth as a global hub for business, tourism, and innovation.
