Changes to VOSA's OCRS (Operator Compliance Risk Score) system will take effect from 30 August 2010, following discussions with the transport industry.
The minor changes are being introduced to lessen the burden on compliant operators and allow VOSA to better target those with a higher risk of being non-compliant.
The changes mean that some operators will see a change in their OCRS banding after 30 August.
VOSA explains that those operators currently in the Amber 8 band for Roadworthiness or Traffic Enforcement will be moved into the Red band.
At the same time, those operators in the Amber 1, 2 and 3 bands for Traffic Enforcement will be moved into the Green Band.
Operators' numerical index scores will not change; only the colour of the band associated with that score.
