Registration of local service and functions of traffic commissioner – section 37
164.Section 37 of the Act makes a number of changes to the 1985 Act to deal with the implications of a BSIP plan and scheme being in place on the registration of local services and the functions of the traffic commissioner.
165.Several of the changes made in section 37 are aimed at ensuring that operators who are not in a position to comply with operational service standards are either refused registration under section 6 of the 1985 Act or are at risk of having such a registration cancelled if they do not comply. This therefore prevents operators from providing services which do not meet the imposed operational service standards and represents a significant aspect of the means by which partnership schemes are enforced.
