RTA is hosting several community initiatives that are run incorporation with the First Abu Dhabi Bank, and KEOLIS-MHI company. The initiatives target a wide community such as bus drivers, workers, delivery bike drivers and truck drivers, orphans and low-income families.

Meals-on-wheels

This initiative will provide 30,000 meals during the Holy Month which is about 1,000 per day. This targets bus drivers, workers, delivery bike drivers, and truck drivers.

Nol cards

‘Ramadan Rations’, held in conjunction with Zayed Humanitarian Day, will distribute nol cards to low-income families for FREE. They can be used for shopping at major retail stores which will greatly benefit families during Ramadan.
