DVSA and CPT’s experience exchange
Senior leaders from DVSA and CPT came together for immersive visits designed to give a practical understanding of each organisation’s work and the pressures they face.
Accessibility standards for public service vehicles
The Public Service Vehicle Accessibility Regulations (PSVAR) continues to roll out and since January 2016 all single-deck buses have needed to be compliant with schedules 1 and 2 of the regulations. The full implementation of the regulations will be complete in 2020.
