Sponsored content: Accreditation for bus and coach operators

FORS, the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme has strengthened its remit in the passenger carrying vehicle (PCV) sector.

FORS is established as the go-to accreditation scheme in the commercial vehicle sector, with over 5,000 members. FORS welcomes commercial vehicle operators of any size and make-up, with provision for all commercial vehicles, from mopeds and motorcycles, cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, to heavy goods vehicles and buses and coaches, all supported by a comprehensive package of funded and discounted training.

The revised FORS Standard came into effect in January 2019, bringing with it provision to cater for diverse membership needs, including the compliance challenges of the bus and coach sector, at all three stages of the FORS progressive accreditation, from entry-level FORS Bronze, to FORS Silver and on to FORS Gold.

Since it began 11 years ago, the diversity of FORS members has broadened, testament to the organisation’s continued goal to provide specific guidance for sectors with differing needs. FORS Director John Hix explains, “Bus and Coach operators, or those which operate passenger carrying vehicles have a lot to gain from FORS membership. 

“As FORS members in the haulage sector know, following our progressive accreditation will not only increase operational efficiencies for fleets and help ensure best safety practices for drivers and passengers, but it will also ensure members are able to be prepared to meet new environmental legislative changes coming into force.”

John Hix said, “Urban passenger carrying fleet managers are well aware of the need for increased environmental efficiencies, with local authorities charged with improving air pollution in our towns and cities. FORS can help operators reduce fuel use and vehicle emissions, while keeping passengers, drivers and other road users safe.”
