The RTA is to encourage thousands of World Trade Centre workers to car pool and take public transport in the latest effort to calm traffic congestion and reduce pollution.
The plan includes introducing buses that will bring workers to and from their homes.
The RTA announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with the World Trade Centre to help bring employees to work on public transport and to educate them about the benefits of car-pooling.
They will also commission a report to discover the main "mobility obstacles" facing World Trade Centre employees commuting to work every day.
The plan could be a big boost to Dubai's plans to reduce its massive carbon footprint. The World Trade Centre employs thousands of people in its main 37-story office tower, as well the Dubai International Convention Center, the Convention Tower and other buildings.
The plan also hopes to minimise single-driver cars by encouraging employees to adopt car-pooling.
The UAE currently has the world's highest carbon footprint per population, leading to international calls for the country to introduce more public transport and reduce energy waste.
