The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)
announced the issuance of a subscription card branded "Student
Parking" as part of its community-oriented initiatives for this segment.
The initiative targets students who are studying in colleges, universities and
higher academic institutions in Dubai emirate with a view to realizing RTA’s
third strategic goal "People Happiness."
Usama Al Safi, Director of Parking at RTA’s
Traffic and Roads Agency said, “The gesture is part of RTA’s initiatives and is
in line with the Dubai Government drive to realize people happiness and deliver
diverse and distinctive services to all community members. The ‘Student
Parking’ card is issued to students of universities & higher academic
institutions in Dubai and entitles them to use public parking lots around
campuses within a 500-meter radius, bearing codes A, B, C and D, against a fee
of Dh300 per three months.
“Documents required to obtain the Student
Parking card are: approved certificate from the university or college proving
that the applicant is registered as a student, the applicant's driving license,
and a vehicle ownership card in the name of the applicant or any of his or her
first or second-degree relatives. The Parking Card bears specific details for
validation such as vehicle registration number, type of card, validity date,
and authorized areas.
“A maximum of three vehicles can be added to a
single card providing that it is used for only one vehicle at a time. The card
should be displayed on the vehicle windscreen to avoid offences, and is invalid
for use in reserved or designated parking slots for other entities or
categories,” noted Maitha. She called on university & college students in
Dubai to make use of the Student Parking card to facilitate finding suitable
parking and avoid delay in attending classes and exams by communicating with
RTA’s customer service via 8009090 or visiting the website (www.rta.ae).
