Dubai: The organisational structure of the Roads and Transport Authority has been revamped following a decree by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Shaikh Mohammad issued Decree No (17) of 2015 forming the Board of Executive Directors of RTA.

In implementation of the decree, RTA’s director-general presides over the Board of Executive Directors that is composed of the chief executive officers of the Traffic and Roads Agency, Public Transport Agency, Rail Agency, Licensing Agency, Strategy and Corporate Governance, Corporate Technical Support Services and Corporate Administrative Support Services.

The decree authorises RTA’s director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors to add new members from RTA’s employees to the Board.

This decree complements Law No (15) of 2015 which partially amends Law No (17) of 2005 on the establishment of Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority. The decree aims to institutionalise the membership of RTA’s Board of Executive Directors based on RTA’s organisational structure.

This decree is valid from the date of issuance and to be published in the Official Gazette.
