Attendees from the club were Ahmed Hasan Nasir, Board Member, Majid Al Osaimi, Executive Director and several disabled persons and members of the club.

Al Mulla, who chaired the 63rd session of the council, expressed his delight with the visit of RTA’s Customers Council to the Dubai Club for the Disabled under the theme: ‘Unlimited Facilities for the Disabled’, said, “Such communication would ease and boost the “My Community – A Place for All” launched by the Dubai Government in 2013 with the aim of transforming Dubai entirely into a friendly city for the disabled by 2020.

RTA has provided quality services befitting the place of the disabled in our hearts, considering them an integral part of the community and a core strategy of RTA’s businesses.” More info
