The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is taking part in the Dubai International Government Achievements Exhibition to highlight an array of superior achievements, strategic projects and excellent services recapping its evolution over a decade. The event, which kicks off tomorrow (Monday) under the theme: ‘Local Government ... Global Achievements’ is held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Ms. Moaza Al Marri, Director of Marketing & Corporate Communication, RTA’s Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector, said: “The international flavor characterizing this fourth edition of the Exhibition underlines a robust participation of the RTA in this global showpiece, particularly that its achievements have become a milestone highlighting the world-class infrastructure of Dubai and its projects underway, which lay the foundation for a prominent future for the Emirate.
“A superb stand has been designed comprising six key elements; the first involves a visual display revealing the initial steps taken to construct Route 2020 for expanding the Dubai Metro Red Line from Nakheel Harbour & Tower Station 15 km to the site of Expo 2020. The Route, which runs 11 km in an elevated track and 4 km underground, comprises 7 stations and envisages the construction of three stations to serve Al Maktoum International Airport as well as densely populated areas,” she said.
“The second element,” continues Moaza “is a kind of a pictorial and informational show visualizing the massive project currently undertaken by RTA i.e. the Dubai Water Canal linking the Business Bay with the Arabian Gulf, offering a lifestyle experience in the heart of Dubai on the shores of the Canal.
“The third element is highlighted by screens displaying the smart and creative apps launched in a bid to emulate the strategic goal: People’s Happiness.

The sixth element exhibits the 11 awards bagged by RTA at the Hamdan bin Mohammed Program for Smart Government 2015 emulating the effective contribution of RTA in realizing the Smart City initiative in a way reflecting people’s happiness by easing their accessibility to RTA’s services using latest and smartest means.
“The Dubai International Government Achievements Exhibition is a genuine platform for highlighting RTA’s achievements and revealing its tireless endeavours to realizing the government’s directives aimed at ranking Dubai amongst the top metropolises worldwide. The Exhibition offers a superb chance for benefiting from the expertise of participating entities in support of the upswing witnessed by the UAE in general and Dubai in particular.
