Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) continues to conduct periodic field visits across the right-of-way of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram networks as part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard rail assets.
Mohammed Al Ameeri, Director of Rail Right-of-Way, Rail Agency, RTA, said that a total of 7,129 field visits were conducted across the rail right-of-way of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram in 2025. These visits led to the identification of several technical observations, which were addressed immediately by RTA’s field teams.
Furthermore,11 inspection campaigns were conducted in 2025, covering all lines and stations across the rail network. These focused on safety standards, infrastructure readiness, and assessing the performance of contractors operating within the Railway Protection Zone.
This approach reflects Dubai’s continued commitment to developing a safe, reliable and sustainable mass transit system that keeps pace with the emirate’s rapid urban and population growth.
RTA will continue to implement periodic monitoring and awareness programmes in collaboration with its strategic partners to maintain the highest safety standards across the rail network and safeguard passengers and all public transport users in the emirate.
