Dubai RTA Has Launched Travel Behaviour Survey

People who work or live in Dubai are welcome to participate in the Roads and Transport Authority’s new Travel Behaviour Survey.

The RTA officials announced, “the poll will run from January to June this year, covering over 7,000 samples of the Dubai population as well as its neighbouring emirates. It will include 5,000 families (citizens and residents); 1,500 individuals visiting or working in Dubai; and 500 cargo transport companies operating in Dubai.”

In the questionnaire’s introduction, the authority said that special incentives await respondents who successfully complete the survey.

Launching the poll is part of the RTA’s efforts to enhance roads and public transport networks and services. The goal, it added, is to provide a smooth and safe transportation experience for the public in line with the emirate’s ambitious Urban Plan 2040.

“Over the next few days, the RTA would launch a survey to measure the mobility trends and behaviours of residents and visitors of Dubai. Communication channels with the public would include home questionnaires, field visits, personal interviews, and online interviews, including via smart apps,” said Muna Al Osaimi, director of the RTA’s Transportation Strategic Planning, Strategy and Corporate Governance Sector.
