During a tour of the centre's facilities, Her Highness was briefed on its technical and human capabilities as well as its key roles in managing the transport system in Dubai and monitoring the network to ensure the smooth flow of traffic, efficient operation of mass transit systems and effective crowd management, especially during major events. Sheikha Latifa expressed her appreciation for the RTA’s efforts in providing an advanced transportation network for Dubai’s residents, based on the highest standards of infrastructure and consolidating the concepts of efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

"As part of our continued efforts to strengthen cooperation between Dubai government’s entities, this visit to the Roads and Transport Authority was a key step in laying the foundations for mutually beneficial projects. It is our utmost priority to uphold the roadmap for the future of Dubai’s cultural vision and to work with strategic partners across the emirate to solidify it as world class cultural centre," she added.

Al Tayer thanked Her Highness for visiting the RTA Enterprise Command and Control Centre. "This visit comes in the context of enhancing cooperation between our two governing bodies, placing us on a path towards broader horizons of development," Al Tayer said.
