Smart Government hits new milestones

- BY SHAFAAT SHAHBANDAR­I Staff Reporter

Starting with just a couple of services a decade ago, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is now one of the leading government agencies offering the majority of its services on digital platforms.

Offering 173 smart services through its website and 10 mobile applicatio­ns, two of which — S’hail and Dubai Drive — were launched at Gitex this year, RTA now also has a few online-only services like registrati­on of vehicles for commercial fleet owners as well as applicatio­n for NOCs and other certificat­es.

“I regularly use RTA’s smart services like Salik top-up, Nol top-up and parking payment. I find it more convenient than using convention­al options. The apps are easy to use and have lots of options, making us want to use them more often.” Anees G.K., Indian, Software Developer

“I am a big fan of RTA’s mobile applicatio­ns. They are ahead of the curve. I have been only using RTA’s online platforms and have not found any reason to go to customer service centres. I do my vehicle registrati­on, Salik top-up, Nol top-up, fine payment and all other jobs through apps.”

Evren Altiok, Turkish, Financial Services Executive.

“We have 173 smart services that we offer through our website and apps. We are adding more services frequently in order to provide our customers the convenienc­e of getting their jobs done from the comfort of their homes and offices. From vehicle registrati­on and driving licence renewal to commuter and top-up services, everything is available online.” Mohammad Al Khayat/ Director of RTA Smart Services
