DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 8TH DECEMBER
Information Sessions hosted by the Alliance Party
The consultation on proposed changes to section 10B permits seeks your views on a potential change to the eligibility to hold section 10B permits to align the licensing system, with the requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 and already directly applicable. Policy development has shown there is a need for the Department to clarify the obligations for all those seeking to provide bus passenger transport in Northern Ireland. The proposals are aimed at promoting road and passenger safety by ensuring that the operation is effectively managed, vehicles properly maintained and the drivers appropriately trained.
The consultation on minibus driving, is intended to seek your views on the Department’s interpretation of the legislation and whether the revised guidance provided is clear, easily understood and covers all the circumstances in which minibuses are driven.
