Eng Maitha acknowledged the initiatives of UAE citizen Mansour Al Mansuri, who use to notify the RTA call center about any violations and faults committed by others. "Today, it is a pleasure to have with us Mr. Mansour Al Mansuri, a loyal UAE citizen who acted morally, thus extending his full cooperation and support by calling the RTA and notifying us of any episode that could have potentially caused obstruction of traffic movement or affected the appearance of Dubai.

She revealed that within the new project, complaints and observations of the public will be received through the call centre and the RTA will periodically honor individuals that extend their cooperation to this project as recognition of their outstanding efforts. This will help in promoting civilized behavior and encourage others to incorporate these values, which are considered as individual and public responsibility. Everyone's cooperation is required and we look forward to individuals who might commit an accident that could result in damages not deliberated to inform us about the damages, as such behaviour will be respected and be taken in consideration to be honored by the RTA, as Bin Adai described.
