Answer 1

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is a government organization responsible for the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the land and marine transportation networks in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The organization was established in November 2005 as a specialized entity to concentrate on the challenge of planning and building a world-class transportation system for the city. The RTA was established by amalgamating several departments and sections from three existing government organizations: Dubai Municipality, Dubai Police, and Dubai Transport. The government of Dubai is very progressive, and the population of the city is forecasted to increase from 1.8 million in 2011 to around 3.3 million by 2020. Over the past few decades, Dubai has succeeded in developing its status as a major city, enhancing the wellbeing of its people and creating an environment that attracts business and individuals. The RTA's structure is based on the agency model. As shown in Exhibit 1, it has three sectors, six agencies, and one commercial agency.
