ABU DHABI // The Centre for Regulation of Transport by Hire Cars (TransAD) took part in an initiative to support residents with special needs and ensure they attain their full rights as citizens and individuals.
The campaign, called “Let’s Understand Them”, was launched at the Hili Wedding Hall in Al Ain, under the patronage of Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon and the Zayed Higher Organisation for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs.
Organised by Al Dar Private School, the event was attended by 45 local government departments in co-ordination with the embassies of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Sudan, among others.
TransAD’s charity and voluntary works committee and its media and public relations department were on hand to demonstrate how a special needs taxi works and the services provided for the disabled.
People with special needs can use discount cards provided by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Special needs taxis can be booked by calling 600 53 53 53.
