New Operator’s License website goes live

The Department of Transport has unveiled a new online portal, which offers information and advice to transport operators on the Operator’s Licence.

The new website, www.rtol.ie enables road hauliers and PSV operators to apply for –and manage their licences online.

It was one of the Minister’s key priorities for 2014 and is in line with the eGovernment and Public Service Reform plans.

The Department has also created a National Electronic Register of Undertakings, in line with EU regulations.

The Register will be linked with the European Register of Road Transport Undertakings to enable enhanced cooperation and communication between Member States, particularly with regard to the exchange of information about infringements by operators in other Member States.
