2025 marks the 70^th anniversary of the launch of the safe driving awards which have been given to eligible bus and coach drivers since 1955. This year’s entrants will receive a special certificate to mark the Platinum year.

ROSCO began as an initiative of the then bus industry owners and managers, with additional support of the trade unions and professional bodies. The Confederation of Passenger Transport, Association of Local Bus Managers (ALBUM), and Unite the Union still have representatives on the ROSCO Board today.

As part of the Platinum celebrations ROSCO will continue its long standing sponsorship of the annual Bus Driver of The Year competition, which this year will be held in Blackpool on Sunday 14^th September.
