RTA rolls out smart parking card service in Dubai

Dubai - The new service will add to the satisfaction and happiness of parking users.

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a smart service whereby drivers would be able to transfer their seasonal parking card from one vehicle to another via the RTA Dubai app.

The smart seasonal parking card service "enables seasonal parking card owners and users to activate the vehicle using such parking space at any time, and manage their accounts as well," the RTA said in a statement.

"RTA always is keen to transform its systems and services into smart systems in keeping with Dubai's drive to migrate from the e-government to Smart Government. The drive is in line with the directions of ranking Dubai as the smartest city in the world," said Eng. Maitha bin Adai, CEO of RTA's Traffic and Roads Agency.

"The underlying objective of the new service is to abolish the manual transfer of the seasonal card from a vehicle to another when using public parking," he said.
