The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) urges owners to abide by the guidelines for managing multi-storey parking in private buildings
Abu Dhabi – In its ongoing effort to improve the parking system and enhance quality of life in the Emirate, the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, continues to enforce the guidelines for managing multi-storey parking in private buildings—whether residential, commercial, or mixed-use. This is carried out in accordance with Abu Dhabi's Parking Regulation Law No. (18) of 2009 and its corresponding executive regulations. This directive aims to improve compliance with the law by raising awareness among residents and property owners about the importance of following the approved management system. It seeks to ensure fair and efficient parking distribution without adding financial burdens or going beyond the Emirate's regulations. This system is designed to ensure the optimal use of parking spaces within buildings and to achieve a fair allocation that allows residents to fully benefit from these spaces without incurring any additional costs. Priority in allocation is always given to residents. Abu Dhabi Mobility oversees the implementation of this system through on-site inspection teams that monitor compliance with the laws and regulations, provide guidance to residents and property owners, and take legal action, including issuing fines, in cases of non-compliance. The parking allocation system varies according to the type of building. In residential buildings, one free parking space is allocated per apartment, starting with larger units and moving down to smaller ones. In cases where apartments are of the same size, priority is given to longer-term residents. In residential buildings constructed before the issuance of the law, one free parking space is allocated per apartment, starting with units that have the highest number of rooms and proceeding to those with fewer. If multiple units have the same size, priority is given to residents with longer tenancy. In mixed-use buildings that include both residential and commercial units, one free parking space is first allocated to each residential unit following the same order, while the remaining spaces are distributed among the commercial and service units based on their size, starting with the largest. In commercial buildings, free parking spaces are allocated to occupants of commercial and service units according to floor area, from largest to smallest. For buildings constructed after the issuance of the law, the technical requirements outlined in the executive regulations of Law No. (18) of 2009 apply. These regulations specify the number of parking spaces required for each building type, based on its designated use and total area. Abu Dhabi Mobility also highlighted the importance of property owners complying with regulations by not leasing or using parking spaces outside the legal framework without prior approval from the relevant authority, especially in buildings where the number of spaces exceeds residents' actual needs. It also emphasised that parking spaces must be allocated without imposing any additional fees or charges on residents, to protect their rights and ensure fair distribution. It is worth noting that users can view the full details of the parking allocation process by visiting the Abu Dhabi Mobility website at For enquiries or to submit complaints or feedback, they can also contact the Department of Municipalities and Transport's Service Support Centre on the toll-free number 800850.

He called on pedestrians to strictly use designated crossing areas, including bridges, tunnels, and pedestrian crossings regulated by traffic signals, and to avoid jaywalking and being distracted by phones while walking. He stressed that compliance with laws is a shared responsibility that protects lives and enhances community security. He also urged drivers to give priority to pedestrians and remain vigilant in areas near schools and residential complexes, noting that respecting pedestrian rights reflects the driver's awareness and civilised commitment.

Abu Dhabi's EV charging infrastructure gets major boost
In a major push for sustainable transport, Abu Dhabi Mobility (Integrated Transport Centre) has announced a large-scale rollout of electric vehicle charging stations across the UAE capital. The move supports the emirate's broader goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. The first phase includes 1,000 new EV chargers at 400 key locations, from Abu Dhabi Island to Al Ain and Al Dhafra. These stations, operating under the brand name 'Charge AD', will offer standardised rates - 70 fils per kilowatt-hour for AC chargers and AED 1.20 for fast DC chargers. The project is being delivered through public-private partnerships (PPP) and aims to expand charging access even further, including in hotels and shopping centres. A number of operators have been appointed to manage the stations under PPP contracts that cover the supply, installation, operation and maintenance. Abu Dhabi Mobility says the initiative is part of a larger plan to get half of all vehicles on the road running on electricity by 2040. Dr. Abdulla Hamed Al Ghfeli, Acting Director General of the Integrated Transport Centre, called the investment a key step in building a cleaner, smarter and more energy-efficient future. Electric vehicle ownership in Abu Dhabi is already accelerating, with over 15,000 EVs registered in the first quarter of this year alone - a 60 per cent jump from 2024.
