The Council are proposing a number of key changes, including:

  • Refresher training for drivers in safeguarding, driver knowledge and driving assessment;
  • Changes to driver identification to ensure visibility;
  • Improved vehicle signage to identify vehicles licensed by Rotherham;
  • Basic DBS checks for staff that work in operator firms;
  • Incentivise Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEVs)
