Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is marking the holy month of Ramadan with 20 community events and charitable activities. These initiatives will be held at RTA’s headquarters, metro stations, and marine transport hubs, encouraging generosity and social engagement throughout the month.

The activities aim to bring people together, including employees, volunteers, and community members, to spread happiness to different groups such as people of determination, orphans, cyclists, truck drivers, metro passengers, and families in need. These efforts highlight Dubai’s cultural values of compassion and unity, which are especially significant during Ramadan.

Supporting Communities Locally and Globally

Abdullah Al Ali, CEO of the Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector at RTA, explained: “Our Ramadan initiatives are designed to support different members of society, including bus drivers, laborers, delivery riders, truck drivers, and individuals with limited income. These initiatives reflect RTA’s commitment to values like tolerance, teamwork, and social responsibility. They also align with the UAE leadership’s vision in declaring 2025 as ‘The Year of Community.’”
