Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new project to improve the mobility experience for People of Determination, particularly children with autism.
The sensory rooms project at Al Satwa and Oud Maitha bus stations aim to elevate customer happiness. The rooms create an environment that balance relaxation and stimulation according to the needs of children with autism.
The rooms feature a suite of specialised elements including:
- Smart low-level lighting to create a calming atmosphere
- Interactive elements such as swings that support physical comfort
- Audio-visual effects, including soothing music, natural scenes
- Colourful visuals to reduce sensory stress

The initiative supports RTA’s strategic goals of elevating customer happiness by delivering specialised services for all segments of the community.
