Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a specialist programme for training Emirati employees on a wide spectrum of fields including traffic, roads, safety, pedestrians, technology and others related headlines. 


Rolling out this programme is in line with the national drive to invest in nationals by giving them exposure to customised training on relevant fields to enhance their knowledge, skills and competency. The ultimate objective is to groom and empower them to support the development efforts in Dubai and the UAE. 


Qualifying Emirati staff on matters related to roads and traffic fits well with the high global standing and competitiveness of the UAE in the quality of roads and infrastructure. Enhancing abilities of local staff also contributes to the seventh principle of the 50-Year Charter of Dubai (A Land for Talent).


The programme has been designed following the recent signing of an MoU between Eng. Maitha bin Adai, CEO of Traffic and Roads Agency; and Patrick Sankey, President & CEO of the International Road Federation (IRF). It covers the training of 60 Emirati employees from the Traffic and Roads Agency on 10 fields covering 45 topics. It includes 35 training days run on two phases over 9 months from October 2019 up to July 2020. 


Topics include offering proper understanding of roads and traffic, identifying information for supporting decisions on road issues, optimising the use of high technology to analyse conditions for safe traffic passage, and examining the quality of materials used in the construction of roads. They also include sorting out issues relating to construction of roads, applying big data to understand road dynamics, setting out priorities for road asset investment strategies, and upgrading the infrastructure of information technology used in traffic planning.
