ROSCO

ROSCO was founded by associations representing road transport employers and by trade unions representing employees. The ROSCO Safe Driving Awards scheme began in 1955 and superseded a previously existing scheme. A Conductors' Award of Merit scheme was also started, which by 1960 had over 50,000 entrants... ROSCO is governed by a Board of 12 trustee Directors, including representatives of bus and coach companies appointed through the trade association the Confederation of Passenger Transport, Unite the Union representing the employees/drivers, and others who are independent specialising in legal, insurance and training areas of expertise. The Board maintains close links with Government, other transport bodies and associations working to promote road safety and safe driving, and responds to consultations on safety-related issues.
