The Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai offers commuters different applications to help them in driving, finding parking space, and use public transportation. With the RTA apps, the authority helps denizens of Dubai to access different motoring services easily from any place at any time.
RTA Dubai
RTA Dubai is the foremost app that offers anyone a chance to access all the services provided by the RTA. It brings all the apps offered by the authority to one place. This includes a custom dashboard with emergency links and weather report for safe driving. But that’s not all.

Smart Drive
Smart Drive is your partner in navigating the roads of Dubai featuring an incredible realistic map view along with a traffic feed to help avoiding traffic jams, road blocks and other obstacles. Also included is the location of parking zones, public transport stops and you can even save your daily commuting route. And the best part is, it does not even require active internet connection to work.
Drivers and Vehicles
This app extends everything a driver would require when they are on the road. The app has two options that we would like to talk about first: the mStore and the mChat. The mStore is your online platform to find your digital driving license, your vehicle registration cards and your plate number certificates. The mChat allows you to get in touch with RTA through live chatting. In addition, the app lets you sign up for a new plate number in Dubai, request a replacement for lost license and even apply for vehicle registration and ownership certificate.
Smart Salik
Smart Salik is one of the RTA apps that works with Dubai’s road toll collection system. It was launched back in 2007 and allows you to easily go through tolls, gates and barriers. The main features include salik tag activation, violation management, view and download salik account statements, top up an account through ePay and recharge a salik account through salik recharge account or e-voucher.
Smart Parking:
The last in the RTA apps list, smart parking helps you park easily through free parking alerts during holidays. Additionally, it also helps you pay tariff online, get automatic identification of zone code, pay parking through SMS, give feedback and report a technical problem. What’s more is that you can get alerts for unoccupied parking spaces at RTA’s multi-storey parking sites and even enjoy getting in app notifications on ticket expiry.
