Dubai’s road toll operator, Salik, has officially renewed its long-standing partnership with the US-based firm TransCore for another five years. This extension builds on an 18-year collaboration, shifting the focus toward integrating artificial intelligence and advanced digital tools into the city’s tolling infrastructure. By leveraging TransCore’s technical expertise, Salik aims to improve the reliability and efficiency of its systems while future-proofing its operations to better align with Dubai’s vision for a smart, sustainable mobility ecosystem.

Beyond standard tolling services, the renewed deal paves the way for Salik to diversify its payment platform. The company plans to expand its services into parking payments and a broader range of mobility solutions, creating a more seamless experience for customers. Despite these ambitious upgrades and new requirements for cybersecurity and sustainability, Salik anticipates that annual operating expenses will remain stable, consistent with historical levels. This continued synergy between the two companies underscores a long-term commitment to maintaining the high operational standards that have defined Dubai’s road network since 2006.
