RTA Provides Dh500 Nol Cards, Free Iftars To Labourers, Drivers, Low-Income Families

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has implemented nine initiatives to help various community groups including drivers, labourers, low-income families, the elderly, orphans, sick children, and road users.

Approximately 700 volunteers completed a range of tasks to support the intended beneficiaries. Collectively, they logged 2,000 volunteer hours throughout Ramadan.

Rowdah Al Mehrizi, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communication, Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector, RTA, said these initiatives are scheduled to continue during Eid Al Fitr.

“Five initiatives were carried out during Ramadan, including Meals-On-Wheels, Zayed Day for Humanitarian Work, The Emirates Society for Parents Care and Relief, Ramadan Aman Campaign, and The Iftar project. The Eid Al Fitr initiatives consist of Kiswat Eid (Eid Clothing), Fun Journey, Eidiyah (Eid gift), and Eid Happiness… RTA intends to launch these initiatives annually,” she added.

On the 19th of Ramadan each year, RTA distributes Ramadan rations by providing nol cards worth Dh500 each to low-income families, eligible groups, and taxi drivers as part of the Zayed Day for Humanitarian Work.

Ramadan Aman campaign targets motorists, bike and e-scooter users, and pedestrians by distributing light iftar meals to drivers at intersections from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm to reduce traffic accidents. Some locations include the City Walk intersection, Etihad Museum intersection, Century Mall intersection, and Union Coop Al Tawar intersection. RTA’s Women Committee also distributed nol cards to low-income families in Satwa, Oud Al Muteena Dubai, Shabiyat Al Qusais, Oud Al Mutina, Al Bada’a, Shabiyat Al Rashidiya, Al Manama, and Al Muhaisnah.
