Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has joined the ‘Invest in Knowledge’ initiative rolled out by the Mohammed bin Rashid Knowledge Foundation. The step is part of efforts to nurture a digital infrastructure that enables knowledge-sharing during these exceptional circumstances forced by the Covid-19 pandemic all over the world. 


RTA’s participation in ‘Invest in Knowledge’ initiative is part of its support to the Mohammed bin Rashid Knowledge Foundation (MBRKF), which provides an educational and knowledge platform for various community members, especially government employees. The concept of an educational foundation has always been part of RTA’s core business. We are endeavouring to make it a reality through grooming knowledgeable and skilled employees 
RTA will be uploading several books, reports, magazines, manuals and other specialist knowledge resources for the benefit of employees and others to the initiative digital platform link. The association with this initiative will further nurture the knowledge of beneficiaries from RTA, thanks to the rich contents of the MBRKF platform, which boasts of 300,000 addresses and 3.5 million digital materials. RTA views this initiative as a great opportunity for employees to benefit from such a brilliant knowledge exposure away from office routines and Covid-19. 


RTA has a comprehensive plan to enhance the foundation which supports the community to broaden their knowledge and education. RTA had launched Read with RTA application with 150 free books in both Arabic and English available for Android and iOS users. It fits with the national agenda for the next decade aimed at making reading part of the duties of government offices. 


RTA also launched Dubai Audio Library, in collaboration with Bookshare online library, which includes 400 thousand books in Arabic language. The library relies on volunteers and publishers to help us make a difference in the lives of people in the region and have 820 international publishers and volunteers in Dubai who contribute to enriching the library by donating their digital files. 


The library is available in several formats including audio, Braille and embossed writing to help those with visual impairment (blindness, poor eyesight, dyslexia, and other challenges). RTA lends support annually to the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature by transporting festival's guests and introducing them to the cultural and urban landmarks of Dubai. 


The initiative of the MBRKF is considered a valuable addition to its knowledge and intellectual achievements. RTA would spare no effort in supporting Dubai Government initiatives for the sake of community members.
