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.

Traffic Commissioners can call a public inquiry to get more evidence. This is to decide whether to grant or refuse a licence for an HGV or PSV operator. They can also take regulatory action against an operator’s existing licence.

Traffic Commissioners are also responsible in their traffic area for:

  • The registration of local bus services
  • The environmental suitability of centres designated as parking locations for HGVs
  • Ensuring operators are reputable, competent and adequately funded
  • Encouraging operators to adopt robust systems so there is fair competition
