The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has reviewed its services for the disabled during a visit paid by its affiliated Customers Council to the Dubai Club for the Disabled.
The move is part of the strategy pursued by the council to identify the service needs of various com-munity segments, especially the disabled. During the meeting, a video presentation was made highlighting the activities and organisational chart of the club.
It was followed by another visual presentation displaying the high standard services provided by RTA for the disabled in terms of design of buildings, facilities and services. These include deployment of transit means for the use of the disabled in 47 metro stations, 11 trams, 1,517 buses, 12 marine transit means, 11 taxicabs, and 10 vehicles in support of the Awnak (a non-emergency transport service for the disabled) service for the disabled and chronically sick individuals.
RTA privileges for the disabled: > 84 front-desk 'specially' trained employees > 12 employees specialised in sign language > Exemption from registration and renewal fees of one vehicle > 50% discount on driver licensing services > Free parking permits for 1,826 parking slots > No parking fees > No Salik toll for one vehicle and public transport |
