FOTO Driver Survey
Driver Shortages - SURVEY
There is an impression that the prohibition of drivers over 70 on the Bus Eireann school contract does not have any significant impact on the number of drivers available to operators running these services.
FOTO has generated a survey, available HERE, that I would ask you to please complete. We intend approaching Government with representative figures from operators of the school contracts confirming the actual benefit to the industry should we remove the driver age cap. There are only a few questions. You will be asked to provide your name, email and policy number so that we can verify the entry, but any information used to back up the report to Government will be completely anonymous. We will share with you the result of the collected data once fully collated. The survey will remain open until January 17th 2025.
Without your input and this data, we cannot make any claims as to how the age cap affects the industry, hearsay and anecdotal information is not enough when it comes to pushing this point and as such we would ask that you complete the form as accurately as you can.
Thank you and we wish you and your family a Happy Christmas and successful 2025
