• Advice on what an operator must consider if a transport manager is unable to attend work;
• Clear guidance on the period of grace process if the requirements to hold an operator's licence cannot be met;
• Information around how the traffic commissioners may approach applications for temporary exemptions to the requirement to hold an operator's licence;
• Guidance on the approach to be adopted for short notice requests around changes to local bus services and reducing the administrative burden on operators;
