Dubai: Registration for the 10th edition of the Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport (DAST) has opened, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced on Monday.
The entries for different categories are open for both public and private entities as well as individuals.
Nominations can be forwarded to the RTA through the award website http://www.dastawards.com, latest by October 15, 2017.
According to Nasser Abu Shehab, CEO of strategy and corporate governance sector and chairperson of the higher organising committee of DAST, the next edition of the award will widen its scope to cover more areas.
“In order to cement its partnership with the educational sector, the RTA has decided to broaden the scope of the Best Academic Research Award category to three winners, instead of one. The move also reflects RTA’s appreciation of the vital role of these entities in diffusing the culture and practices of sustainable transport among community members,” said Abu Shehab.
He called on relevant entities to expedite the submission of bids as registration of nominations started early this month.
Among the main categories of DAST are Mobility Management, Mobility Safety, Environmental Conservation and People of Determination.
The special categories consist of Best Academic Research, Best Student Project, Best Media Staff and Best Media Team.
