Powerful Collaborations: The Driving Force Behind the Innovation
The transformative collaboration culminating in this groundbreaking initiative is forged through a formal agreement between the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the ISIC Association. This pivotal agreement, formalized during the prestigious Mena Transport Congress and Exhibition, underscores a shared commitment to enhancing the student experience within Dubai’s expansive public transport network.
The International Student Identity Card (ISIC), seamlessly integrated with the new Nol card, emerges as the singular beacon of internationally recognized student identity. Its multifaceted utility encompasses student status verification, access to a global student community, and, notably, a myriad of discounts worldwide. Mohammed Al Mudharreb, the esteemed CEO of Corporate Technology Support Services Sector at RTA, emphasizes that the partnership aspires to enrich students’ daily commutes across various modes of RTA’s public transport network, transcending mere transportation to become a holistic experience.

In a nod to parental involvement, the new Nol card empowers parents to actively manage their children’s accounts, facilitating tasks such as balance top-ups and expenditure oversight. This comprehensive solution fosters a symbiotic relationship between students, parents, and the broader community, epitomizing the essence of inclusivity and empowerment.
