There will also be a new subscription fee for anyone seeking multi-storey parking access across the city.
For students, the fee will start at Dhs100 per month, allowing access to both roadside and plots parking with zone codes A, B, C and D within a 500m radius of their campus.
Teachers and staff at private education centres will also be able to redeem the Dhs100 fee along with parking near their campus.

Finally, a new fee for multi-storey parking will be priced from Dhs735 per month, which will offer convenient parking options near your home, workplace or favoured destinations across Dubai.
In a post on X, Parkin stated: 'Parkin introduces new subscriptions designed for students, educators, and multi-storey parking access, with flexible options to suit your daily needs.'
Public parking in Dubai is organised and managed by Parkin, which took over responsibility from the RTA in 2024.
Looking after public and private spaces around the city, Parkin has since implemented a new tariff system for parking, which divides into four zones named A, B, C and (you guessed it), D.
Coming into practice in April 2025, there is also a new peak time hours fee for specific spaces that are located near transport hubs, business districts and shopping areas.
With the new tariffs, these premium parking spaces have risen to Dhs6 per hour. In contrast, regular parking spaces across the city have remained priced at Dhs4 per hour.

Driverless tractors to handle luggage at Al Maktoum International Airport
If you're flying from Dubai's second airport soon, then your luggage may well be transported without a driver in the front seat. And that's because a new fleet of autonomous vehicles has been introduced by dnata at Al Maktoum International Airport. dnata now operates six electric tractors at Al Maktoum International Airport, which will eventually become the world's largest capacity airport, allowing baggage to be transported. The EZTow model tractors can move up to four baggage containers between the airport terminal and the aircraft at speeds of up to 15km/h, following pre-defined routes. Traditionally, of course, this work has been carried out by human drivers operating under tight time constraints. With the introduction of driverless baggage vehicles, staff who previously drove baggage tractors can now be reassigned to more complex value-added tasks. Driverless tractors introduced to Al Maktoum International Airport (Credit: WAM) dnata says that the introduction of autonomously driven vehicles reduces the risk of human error, making airside operations safer for everyone on the ramp. The Dhs6 million project begins with level three autonomy, which involves minimal human oversight. By 2026, these tractors will upgrade to level four autonomy, which means that they'll have full self-driving capabilities in controlled environments. You may like: Dubai to launch driverless taxi trials this year The project will also act as a testbed to trial and refine different operating models for autonomous ground handling as the airport prepares to eventually have capacity for up to 260 million passengers annually. Insights gained from this rollout will have an impact on how automation will be built into the core of future airport operations at Al Maktoum International Airport. Al Maktoum International Airport will eventually become the world's largest capacity airport (Credit: Coop Himmelb(l)au) The rollout follows over a year of collaboration between dnata, TractEasy, Dubai Airports and the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). The parties have been working together to create a new regulatory framework for autonomous vehicle operations in airside environments, which remain largely undefined at a global level. Jaffar Dawood, Divisional Senior Vice President for UAE Airport Operations at dnata, said that the rollout could be significant for future operations. He said: 'While autonomous vehicles have largely been limited to trials, this deployment brings the technology into regular, day-to-day operations. 'As global travel continues to rebound and operational demands increase, automation could be key to building smarter, safer and more resilient infrastructure.' Making summer plans?

A 450-metre two-lane bridge will also be constructed, serving traffic flowing from Dubai World Trade Centre heading to towards Za'abeel Palace Street and Al Mustaqbal Street. New pedestrian walkways, a cycling track and new urban spaces will also be created to make the street accessible for all. Speaking about the project, His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) stated: 'Al Mustaqbal Street Development Project forms part of a broader project that includes the development of the Trade Centre Roundabout, with construction works having commenced in the last quarter of last year. 'The project will serve several key commercial, residential, and development zones, most notably the Dubai World Trade Centre, which has been the region's premier venue for international events and exhibitions for over four decades. 'The project will also serve Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a leading financial hub for the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. It will further enhance connectivity to key areas, including Za'abeel, Downtown Dubai, and Business Bay. The project is expected to benefit approximately half a million residents and visitors.'
