The Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination announced on Sunday that parking permits for people of determination (PoD) in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are now digital, eliminating the need for paper permits. This transition allows PoD to easily carry their permits on their phones or devices, making it more convenient for them. These digital permits will be linked to the system for those with active permits issued in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai, making it easier for individuals to travel between the two emirates.
In Abu Dhabi, people of determination can park for free in paid parking spaces, whereas in Dubai, paid parking spaces will still incur charges. Salama Al Reyami, the head of networks and operations at Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination, stated that this project is a new step in improving the quality of life for PoD. The organisation aims to create a better reality and an easier future through sustainability and digital transformation.
