| Unlike many cities that are built primarily around the accommodation of automotive traffic, MASDAR City will offer transportation solutions which will significantly reduce environmental impact without sacrificing ease of movement. As potential transportation solutions Masdar is considering the light rail transit (LRT), personal rapid transit (PRT), car parking (at the edge of Masdar City), and associated logistics. Masdar will also consider developing a logistics centre at the edge of Masdar City that will act as the receiving centre for inbound and outbound goods, and distribute these to residents via energy-efficient means. |

To achieve sustainability and carbon neutrality objectives, Masdar requires modern and reliable modes of transport that promote limited use of personal cars by commuters and visitors to Masdar City. The idea is to develop:
- An LRT system passing through the city as part of the main planned Abu Dhabi LRT system. This system would play a key role in transporting commuters and visitors to Masdar City and would enhance the link between its main boundaries.
- A PRT system that will guarantee passenger privacy in a way similar to a car by ensuring that, once boarded, no other passengers will board a vehicle along the route.
- Parking spaces that would be dedicated to commuters (external) and visitors as well as to residents (internal).
- Logistics network composed of discrete logistic components that are required to ensure availability of goods and materials in the city. This network would deliver best in class logistics services within Masdar city while balancing quality of services delivered.
Masdar is embarking on a global drive to attract industry partners in the field of transportation to achieve its important objectives. Your expertise in transportation systems will contribute to the development of a blueprint for the cities of the future.
