What do Traffic Commissioners do?

Traffic Commissioners can initiate public inquiries to act against operators. This can determine whether to grant or revoke their operator’s licence. This action may stem from concerns about the operator’s good repute, inadequate record-keeping, or environmental complaints.

Additionally, Traffic Commissioners oversee the licensing and regulation of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and Public Service Vehicles (PSVs). They also regulate local bus services.

In their traffic area, Traffic Commissioners are also responsible for:

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