1 Press release for immediate release The Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi Elected As Vice Chair, UITP MENA Executive Board Abu Dhabi on Tuesday July 15, The Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi announced that it was recently elected for the position of vice chair of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) MENA Executive Board in which Saeed Al Hameli won the highest number of votes to be elected as Vice-Chairman of the UITP in MENA. Saeed Mohammad Fadel Al Hameli, the Acting Director of Organization Development, and Advisor to the Executive Director of Surface Transport at DoT, was appointed to represent DoT as the Vice Chair in MENA Executive Board of UITP, the second highest position in UITP regionally, and that will enable DoT to obtain an elected permanent seat in the Policy Board of UITP. Expressing his pleasure to be appointed in this position, Saeed Al Hameli said that this position puts extra responsibilities on his shoulders, calling to more utilization of the modern and sophisticated public transportation in Abu Dhabi; in order to place it in its appropriate position among the developed cities worldwide.

2 Al Hameli added: The transportation sector in Abu Dhabi is witnessing rapid growth in all aspects, and to keep pace with this growth, concerned officials in the industry, in addition to service providers and operators of Public Transport, should always seek to handle with future challenges of transportation, sustainability and the preservation of environment. He pointed that, The Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi is always keen to bring the best expertise and international best practice to the public transport sector, as we have always benefitted from the expertise of the International Union of Public Transport, (UITP), which now encompasses 92 member states with (3,200) members. The Advisor to the Executive Director of Surface Transport at DoT highlighted the importance of investment in establishing and developing a public transport system that meets the needs of different segments of the society; and that public transport has obvious advantages such as saving nearly five times the energy consumed by private vehicles. In addition, an efficient public transport system contributes to the reduction of air pollution caused by private vehicles by half. In this context, Al Hameli has recently moderated one of the sessions of the Third UITP MENA Congress under the title of Increasing Revenue, where he pointed out the importance of revenues in public transportation and discussed tools to diversify them. Al Hameli concluded the session by highlighting the experiences of both Japan and China in the field of trains, as it can be utilized to support the UAE experience in the field and develop it. It is worth mentioning that the Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi hosted this year the Policy Board Meeting of UITP, which was held for the first time outside the European continent. The meetings included a special workshop on Abu Dhabi that

3 discussed the challenges faced by the Emirate in its efforts to develop sophisticated and sustainable public transport in line with the Abu Dhabi current and future plans. Al Hameli commented that the UITP meetings presented a good chance to discuss and review the highlights of international trends in the field of transport, especially that its being held in Abu Dhabi has strengthened its strategic partnerships with senior officials of public transport and the institutions involved, benefitting the process of social and economic development witnessed in the Emirate. It is noteworthy that the United Arab Emirates, has hosted the Third UITP MENA Congress 2014 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, with the sponsorship of the Department of Transport of Abu Dhabi. This congress is considered the fruit of cooperation and partnership between the United Arab Emirates, represented by RTA in Dubai, and UITP for organizing this event once every two years for a span of ten years, reinforced by the establishment of The MENA Centre for Transport Excellence, based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
