The Roads and Transport Authority's (RTA) Licensing Agency has begun marketing its new online service delivery channel through which driving licences and vehicle registration can be renewed and traffic fines paid, according to The Gulf News.
As part of the online development, the Agency established a home page called a ‘Dashboard' for every Dubai driver's licence holder and vehicle registration
owner. About 1.2 million ‘Dashboards' have been created, the Gulf News reported.
"A person's Dashboard gives an overview of the driving status, such as their unpaid traffic fines, black points and whether vehicles are required for impounding," Ahmad Bahrozyan, Licensing Agency CEO, said.
People can see their online Dashboard by registering at the RTA Website.
He said from the Dashboard a client can see details of their fines and pay them online. The Dashboard also provides an individual messaging facility. The Agency will use the message facility to provide general information to clients, such as new service information, as well as specific client information such as when the person's vehicle registration is due.
The updated online service was launched in May, though full marketing of the service only recently started. More than 600 clients a week were viewing their driving status through their online Dashboard, before we started marketing the service, Bahrozyan said.
The Agency plans to roll out other services later this year that will also be available from a person's online Dashboard page.
