Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of Public Works UAE, told the MEED MENA Rail & Metro Summit in Dubai this morning that investment in mass transport is delivering economic and environmental benefits to the UAE.
"The adoption of integrated mass transport including rail, metro, bus and water vehicles has allowed us not only to address traffic congestion issues but also to lower the environmental impact of transportation in general," Al-Nuaimi said.
Initiatives include the use of bio-diesel and low sulphur diesel fuel for car transport, solar power for paid parking machines, using natural gas in ships and a central control and command centre for running traffic lights.
Al Nuaimi said sustainable transport will remain a key feature of the country's integrated medium and long-term development targets.
