Details

Organisations that provide transport on a ‘not-for-profit’ basis can apply for permits under Section 19 or Section 22 of the Transport Act 1985. These permits allow the holder to operate transport services for hire or reward without the need for a full public service vehicle operator’s licence.

Section 19 permits can be standard or large depending on the size of the vehicle. ‘Standard permits’ are for vehicles adapted to carry no more than 16 passengers (excluding the driver) whereas ‘large bus permits’ are for vehicles adapted to carry 17 or more passengers.

Guidance can be found here: Section 19 and 22 permits and obligations: not for profit passenger transport - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
