Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has initiated the second phase of its ‘Travel Behaviour Survey’, aiming to gather information from 21,000 individuals from diverse backgrounds. This phase, set to run until February 2024, will target laborers, tourists, visitors, and non-resident workers through workplace surveys. The initiative is part of RTA’s continuous efforts to refine road and transportation strategies, enhancing both road and public transportation networks for a seamless and secure mobility experience. This initiative aligns with Dubai’s Urban Plan 2040.
The first phase of the survey was conducted from January to June 2023, and the second phase was launched to ensure a broader representation of targeted individuals and families. The survey will capture data on mobility patterns and behaviors, employing various outreach strategies including face-to-face, internet, and mobile app interviews.
The gathered results will be analyzed to generate valuable data for updating the authority’s strategic plans concerning roads and public transportation systems, encompassing the metro, tram, public buses, and marine transport services. This undertaking signifies a crucial step towards optimizing Dubai’s transportation infrastructure in line with its dynamic urban development.
