QU Launches 2026 Road Safety Schools Ambassadors Program to Promote Traffic Safety Across Qatar
\
The Qatar Transportation and Traffic Safety Center (QTTSC) at the College of Engineering, Qatar University (QU), has announced the launch of the seventh edition of the “Road Safety Schools Ambassadors Program" for the year 2026. The initiative is implemented by Mubadara for Social Impact, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the National Traffic Safety Committee, the General Traffic Department, and UNESCO, and powered by JTA Innovation.
The program aims to engage high school students across Qatar in innovative awareness campaigns that promote traffic safety and responsible road behavior. By empowering youth to become active advocates for safer roads, the initiative supports the objectives of the National Traffic Safety Strategy and aligns with the Human Development Pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030.
Throughout November 2025, Mubadara for Social Impact will reach out to all public and private schools across the country, encouraging broad participation. Schools wishing to join are invited to confirm their participation by 30 November 2025. Qatar Transportation and Traffic Safety Center shall conduct introductory presentations to participating schools during December 2025, introducing the program objectives and providing basic information on road safety challenges in Qatar. School-based competitions and road safety initiatives will take place from 1 December 2025 to mid-March 2026, providing schools with over three months of active engagement and learning.
A key highlight of this year's edition is the introduction of the AI-powered “Qatar Traffic Safety Challenge," programmed and sponsored by JTA Innovation. The contents of this platform in terms of road safety scenarios and the feedback to participants are developed and verified by the Qatar Transportation and Traffic Safety Center. This interactive and gamified experience enables students to test their road safety knowledge through engaging challenges and personalized AI guidance. The challenge transforms learning into a fun, immersive experience, inspiring students to become “Road Safety Heroes" and helping embed lifelong safe road habits.
In addition, each participating school will appoint dedicated Road Safety Ambassadors, who will lead awareness initiatives and implement student-led projects aimed at promoting safer roads within their school communities. These projects will be evaluated by a qualified team led by the Qatar Transportation and Traffic Safety Center. An awards ceremony at QU in mid-April 2026 will culminate the program, celebrating the most impactful student projects and outstanding ambassadors.
The 2025 edition of the program saw impressive participation, with 350 students from 60 schools forming 70 teams that competed with creative and impactful safety projects. Six finalist teams were honored at an awards ceremony during the Qatar CSR Summit 2025, held at QU in the presence of senior officials from partner organizations.
Schools interested in joining the 2026 program can contact roadsafety@mubadara.social for registration and further information.\ \
