SPT manages the school bus contracts for 11 of the 12 Councils that make up the SPT area (the exception being Argyll & Bute).

We ensure that Disclosure Scotland checks are made on each driver, and carry out inspections before awarding contracts to ensure that the vehicles being used are safe and properly maintained.

SPT's customer care inspectors check that the quality of the service meets the standards agreed with the operator as part of the contract specification.

If we find that drivers are being used who aren't approved, or that there are problems with a particular vehicle, we take the matter up with the contractor and the relevant authority.

In monitoring school contracts, SPT works very closely with Strathclyde Police, the Traffic Commissioner and the Department for Transport.
