The Senior Traffic Commissioner, Kevin Rooney, said:
“I would like to offer my thanks to Victoria for her contribution to road safety in Wales. I wish her every success in her new position. Her work has strengthened the Traffic Commissioner tribunal. In addition to the hours spent on cases, education, and encouraging road transport businesses, she has enhanced cooperation between the Traffic Commissioners and the Welsh Government.”
The Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates, said:
“I would like to thank Victoria Davies for her dedicated service as the Traffic Commissioner for Wales over the past six years. I look forward to supporting the recruitment process that will now begin to appoint her successor and ensure the continued promotion and effective regulation of safe and reliable road passenger and goods transport in Wales.”
The role of the traffic commissioners
Traffic commissioners are responsible for the licensing and regulation of bus, coach and goods vehicle operators, and registration of local bus services. Where appropriate, they can call operators to a public inquiry to examine concerns about vehicle and driver safety.
They also deal with professional drivers at conduct hearings.
