RTA Distributes Over 600 Nol Cards to Underprivileged Families

More than 600 pre-loaded nol cards were distributed to underprivileged families by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Sheikh Zayed Humanitarian Day, observed in the UAE every 19th day of Ramadan.

The NOL cards can be used for public transport and essential purchases at participating retail outlets in the emirate.

Ramadan Initiative Focuses on Community Well-being:

RTA said the distribution of 630 nol cards is also part of their Ramadan initiative “aimed at carrying out various community initiatives directed towards RTA employees, people of determination, families with limited incomes, drivers, and workers to bring them joy and happiness during the holy month.”

Early this month, RTA rolled out the ‘Modes of Good’ initiative, an expanded version of the annual ‘Meals on Wheels’ initiative, to distribute 8,000 Iftar meals to public bus drivers, delivery bike riders, truck drivers, and Abra captains. RTA also partnered with Beit Al Khair Society for the Ramadan Tent Project, which aims to provide 2000 Iftar meals to fasting individuals.

Connecting Loved Ones During Ramadan:

To bring families closer, telephone booths have also been set up during Ramadan at select Metro stations, offering commuters free international calls to talk to their loved ones abroad from Al Ghubaiba, Union, and Jebel Ali Metro stations.
