What do Traffic Commissioners do?

Traffic Commissioners oversee the licensing and regulation of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) operators, public service vehicles (PSV), and local bus services. They can call a public inquiry to gather more evidence before deciding whether to grant or refuse a licence for an HGV or PSV operator. They can also take regulatory action against an existing licence.

In their traffic area, Traffic Commissioners are responsible for:

  • Registering local bus services
  • Assessing the environmental suitability of HGV parking locations
  • Ensuring operators are reputable, competent, and adequately funded
  • Encouraging fair competition through robust systems
