The results of the survey were announced on Monday November 11 with Dubai leaders keen to stress
the initiative is part of plans to make the world’s best city to live in by fostering well-being, boosting
community happiness and reducing traffic density.
His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Commissioner General for the Infrastructure, Urban Planning, and
Well-Being Pillar, said that Dubai traffic could be reduced by the policies.
He said: “Remote work and flexible working hours are among the traffic demand management policies
aimed at achieving balance and integration in the transport system by reducing or redistributing
demand across time and place while promoting sustainable transport options.
“These policies also include the expansion of truck movement restrictions, increasing dedicated lanes
for buses and taxis, and providing first and last-mile options to encourage residents and visitors to use
public transport instead of private vehicles.
“Additionally, they support public transport use for employees and encourage carpooling.”
