VOSA's vision
Saving lives, safer roads, cutting crime, protecting the environment
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) is an Executive Agency of the Department for Transport (DfT). We contribute to saving lives, making roads safer, cutting crime and protecting the environment through ensuring compliance with regulations of drivers, operators, vehicles, MOT garages and maintainers.
Our four pillars of compliance
• Testing & inspection
• Licensing and authorisation
• Enforcement
• Supporting industry through education and information
VOSA's vision for the future is one where drivers, operators, vehicles, MOT garages and maintainers are fully compliant with regulations. Moving forward we will transform the way we work to deliver compliance even more efficiently and effectively. Our four core pillars of work will remain the same, but how, when and where we deliver these will alter as we embed an increasingly risk and evidence-based approach, which is proportionate and targeted according to the principles below.
Strategic principles
• Targeting those most likely to be non-compliant
• Targeting areas of non-compliance most likely to cause collisions / incidents
• Effective location
• More effective partnering with regulatory and trade bodies
• A graduated approach
