Traffic commissioner’s publication scheme
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires public authorities to adopt and maintain a publication scheme. Whilst each traffic commissioner is an independent office holder and data controller under the
FOI Act, they will be treated as parties in common for the purposes of this publication scheme.
The purpose of this publication scheme is to:
specify the classes of information traffic commissioners have committed to publish

Most of the information covered by the publication scheme will be made available on the traffic commissioners’ pages on the GOV.UK website. If information is required in an alternative format, all reasonable steps will be taken to assist.
