Salik renews Transcore contract for 5 years: AI tolling and parking payments coming to Dubai's 10 toll gates

Salik, the exclusive operator of Dubai's road tolls, has renewed its technology contract with US firm Transcore for another 5 years. The agreement was announced on 6 September 2026 and extends a partnership dating back to 2006, when Transcore built the original tolling system.
Salik chief executive Ibrahim Al Haddad and Transcore chief executive Whitt Hall signed the deal, witnessed by Salik chairman Mattar Al Tayer. Transcore remains responsible for the systems behind all 10 Salik toll gates, including the variable pricing engine charging AED 6 at peak and AED 4 off peak since 31 January 2025. The renewal adds scope for artificial intelligence tools, support for Salik's expansion into parking payments, and stricter requirements on cybersecurity, maintenance, and governance.
Salik expects operating expenses to stay at 5 to 5.5 per cent of annual revenue, the same range as under the previous contract.
