Starting August 20, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is digitising its free parking permit services for senior Emiratis and people of determination.

This means they will no longer have to print and display the permits.

The smart permit comes with a new feature entitling the user to add up to 5 vehicles in each permit, one primary vehicle and 4 secondary vehicles, as only one vehicle can be activated at a time through the website and RTA Dubai App.

Through this initiative, RTA is keen on transforming its services into smart and proactive ones in line with the 'Smart City' initiative and providing sustainability in service delivery.

It also aims to enhance customers' happiness, especially senior Emiratis and people of determination who form an integral part of the UAE community.
