Bus Accreditation

Under the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001, operators of public passenger services are to be accredited by the Road Transport Authority. The general purpose of accreditation is to attest that the application meets ACT Government standards regarding suitable person to operate a public bus passenger service, financial viability, safety of passengers and the public and vehicle maintenance.
Once granted, accreditation lasts for 3 years. Holders of accreditation are required to apply for renewal at that time.

Upon approval of an application, the Road Transport Authority will advise the applicant of the fees payable and the identifier to use if paying online.
