RTA Announces Award for Excellent Delivery Drivers

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched the Delivery Service Excellence Award to encourage delivery service companies and drivers to have a role in stepping up road traffic safety across the emirate.

The award is comprised of two categories. The first category is for Companies and aims to recognise the best two companies in the delivery service as well as the best two companies in delivery service via smart platforms and apps. The second category is for Professional Drivers, which honours the best 10 drivers each year.

The criteria for selecting the best drivers include a clean record in terms of complaints, offences and accidents in addition to a positive assessment of the employee’s performance.

RTA trained about 10,000 motorbike drivers to get them acquainted with the conditions and obligations that should be adhered to when driving motorcycles, especially observing the speed limits and avoiding driving in fast lanes.

The authority also set the conditions of licensing firms, the delivery process, training and drivers along with the specifications of the delivery boxes and driver uniforms. It also set the conditions for contracting with delivery companies according to the international standards to ensure high safety and quality, reduce traffic incidents and improve the level of customer services.
