The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) signed an agreement with Dubai Municipality allowing for operating and collecting fees of public facilities run by the Municipality in the emirate via NOL card.
The agreement, which include entry into four public parks in Duabi - Al Mamzar Park, Zabeel Park, Mushrif Park, and the Creek Park, will be effective early next year.
RTA has to install electronic systems for selling/recharging NOL cards according to places, quantities and specifications defined by both parties, while the Municipality undertakes to furnish the RTA with rules and legislations of relevance.
“Public parks in Dubai are iconic entertainment avenues in the emirate and attract more numbers of visitors each year. This new service contributes to easing the accessibility of parks via smart gates compatible with the Government’s transition to smart services,” said Mohammed Abdul Kareem Julfar, Assistant Director-General for Corporate Support Sector, Dubai Municipality.
The agreement, which provides for using RTA’s NOL card in levying the entry fees of public facilities of the Municipality, comes in the context of the Dubai Government efforts to boost the cooperation between public entities in the interest of the local community, and in support of the Smart City initiative of the Dubai Government.
Abdullah Al Madani, CEO of RTA’s Corporate Technology Support Services Sector in RTA’s Head Office signed the agreement with Julfar of Dubai Municipality. Nasir Abu Shehab, Acting CEO of RTA’s Strategy & Corporate Governance Sector, in addition to officials from both parties, also attended the event.
