Post subject:  RRO for School contracts. PSV
The RRO to amend registering school transport services is due for completion later this year. The full changes can be found on the DfT website.


Public Service Vehicles

A proposal to reform the Transport Act 1985 and the Transport Act 1968. It will:

* remove the requirement for school transport services carrying pupils or students (but not the general public) as fare-paying passengers to be registered with the traffic commissioners
* increase the maximum permitted length of bus subsidy contracts
* allow Passenger Transport Executives to lease buses to operators for the provision of services under bus subsidy contracts and
* remove the restrictions placed by the 1985 Act on Councillor Directors of Public Transport Companies.

Initial Scrutiny period began 22 November 2005.

No, if I had to read it then so should others. :wink:

Alright then, I was concerned that school runs presently contracted to the taxi/PH trade could be lost to, yet more, unlicensed vehicles. :sad:
