Triennial review of Traffic Commissioners published 27 March 2015

The triennial review of the traffic commissioners for Great Britain has now been published by the DfT (Department for Transport).

Key conclusion from the review, which was conducted by the DfT, with independent oversight, and external consultancy JMP Partners, is that the primary function of the commissioners is still necessary and that this is best delivered through the commissioners as non-departmental public bodies.

The review also identified several measures that, if implemented, should improve the traffic commissioners' governance, transparency and accountability.

The DfT will be taking these recommended measures forward over the coming months," states transport minister Claire Perry.

"The report also includes a number of representations from industry: the department will evaluate these and develop a timetable for taking them forward," she adds.
