Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced new inspection standards to extend the operational lifespan of delivery bikes.
This allows for the renewal of bike registrations for an additional year, enabling continued delivery operations. Furthermore, the measure reflects RTA’s commitment to enhancing safety in this sector and supporting the sustainable growth of delivery services.
The comprehensive technical inspection standards, developed in line with international best practices, will be applied on an optional basis through designated inspection centers and via RTA’s website under the ‘Delivery Bikes Operational Life Extension’ service. The process follows a clear mechanism that ensures bikes are safe and suitable for delivery activities before renewing their registration for the fifth year.
RTA Improves Service Quality and Operational Efficiency for Delivery Bikes
Khaled Mohammed Saleh, Director of Commercial Transport Activities, RTA, said that, “The delivery sector has recorded accelerated growth in recent years. The technical inspection initiative supports this growth, enhances service quality and customer experience, improves the safety of riders and road users, reduces operating costs for companies, and increases operational efficiency.”
“In cooperation with the relevant entities and the private sector, we have launched a range of projects and initiatives to support the sector’s growth. These include dedicated stations and rest areas for delivery riders equipped with service facilities, designated lanes for delivery bikes, and yellow number plates exclusively for delivery bikes to enhance safety. RTA has also developed charging stations and introduced additional initiatives to reduce rider fatigue, improve road safety, and support the sector’s sustainable growth,” Mohammed Saleh added.
Easy Steps to Extend Motorcycle Registration in Dubai
Delivery companies operating motorcycles in Dubai can benefit from this service through quick and simple steps. Companies can access RTA’s website, log in using their corporate account, select the service, identify bikes that have reached the maximum operational age, and complete the required technical inspection at designated centers.
