RTA Introduces Parking Reservation System in Dubai Marina and Media City
Overview of the Parking Reservation System
To ease the hassles of motorists in and around the Dubai Marina and Media City areas, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced a parking reservation system on its Android smartphone application. This system helps commuters save time and fuel and is currently being tested in two of Dubai's busiest areas with six reserved slots in each locality. The objective is to launch the app on iOS devices within the next ten days.
How to Use the Parking Reservation Service
To avail of the service, motorists must log onto the RTA Dubai mobile app and access the ‘Parking Services’ tab. After that, users will be taken to an interactive map that displays the available parking slots in both areas.
- Tariffs for this service are AED 10 per hour.
- Each additional hour costs an extra AED 10.
- Users must ensure they have an account with RTA and enough balance to pay for this service.
Important Information from RTA
Osama Al Safi, Director of Parking at RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, stated: “Users of the app know that the vehicle details are already stored in the app, which will be used to book a slot in the zone required. Misuse of the slots or parking at the spaces reserved for this service without paying will attract a fine of Dh1,000.”
