Dubai rolls out transport fee exemptions and discounts for key groups

Dubai has introduced a package of transport-related incentives, including fee exemptions and discounts, aimed at supporting families and enhancing quality of life, authorities said.

The initiative, aligned with the National Family Growth Agenda 2031, follows an agreement between the Ministry of Family, and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to support the “Family First” programme.

Measures include exemptions from Salik toll fees and parking charges for senior Emirati citizens, discounted public transport fares for citizens and students, and fee waivers for people of determination.

Authorities also announced reduced costs for vehicle registration and renewal, as well as a 50 per cent reduction in licensing fees for taxi drivers.

The measures aim to ease financial burdens and promote social wellbeing across key segments of society.
