Dubai: Work from home and flexible job timings can reduce morning peak travel time across Dubai
by 30 per cent, a new study has found.

The findings - compiled from two surveys - follow the approval of the Traffic Flow Plan by Sheikh
Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister,
Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Dubai Government Human Resources (DGHR)
Department on Monday announced the results of two surveys on remote working and flexible
working hours.
