The Point to Point Transport Commission invites passenger service operators to Industry Information Sessions

Published

The Point to Point Transport Commission is hosting free Industry Information Sessions across the state from 8 May to 4 July 2018.  

The information sessions cover the point to point transport laws in NSW and are tailored to taxi, hire vehicle, community transport, rideshare, tourism industry transport providers and those operating small buses with 12 seats or less (including the driver).

The sessions explain:

  • the background to the new law and the key elements of the law
  • how to become authorised
  • what is a passenger service
  • what to do to be compliant with the law
  • what is a Safety Management System, and why you must have one
  • the Passenger Service Levy and how to register as a tax payer       

Taxi, Hire vehicle, community transport, tourism industry transport providers and small bus operators are encouraged to attend. Experts from the Commission are on hand at the sessions to assist operators with their specific issues.

The Point to Point Transport Commissioner Barbara Wise said the Commission remains focused on education and partnering with the point to point transport industry to promote safety and compliance.

“We encourage existing and those considering becoming point to point transport providers to take this opportunity to attend one of information sessions taking place in both regional and metropolitan NSW,” Ms Wise said. For more information contact us on 131 727.
