According to RTA, advertisements displayed on school buses must be suitable for students and encourage correct principles, morals, and behaviours according to UAE laws. To prevent distraction, onboard advertising screens should be positioned behind the driver. RTA also mentioned that advertisements on the exterior of buses should not cover the 'School Bus' signage or obstruct the driver’s view, particularly on the rear glass.
Adel Shakeri, Director of Planning & Business Development at the RTA, said that the advertisements must adhere to stringent standards and requirements. "“RTA is actively coordinating with stakeholders across various sectors to gather and screen their feedback, aiming to launch initiatives that benefit government, semi-government, and private entities,” added Adel Shakeri.
