The 6700 Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the US-based 6303 National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) are entering into a formal partnership to share information and experiences on school transportation, and will co-host a school transportation Summit next spring in Dubai.
"This agreement is the result of many years of working informally with NAPT,” said Essa Al Dosseri, CEO of the Public Transport Agency at RTA. “Together, we are taking the next step to bring the best practices in school transportation to individuals, businesses, governments and related school transportation service providers in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) as well as other countries. The conference we are planning will be a unique learning experience for transportation professionals around the world," Al Dosseri said.
As part of the agreement between the organisations, NAPT will work with RTA to benchmark its current school transportation service and collaborate on public information activities and other communications.
