Statistics at DfT
Department for Transport publishes official statistics relating to the transport system in Great Britain.
Transport use during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
To monitor the use of the transport system during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, DfT provides statistics on transport use by mode for each day since 1 March 2020. We have recently changed to publish at 9.30am on Wednesdays reflecting process improvements to get the data out earlier than the previous 2.00pm Wednesday time.
Since early March, we are also now releasing summary statistics on the numbers of lateral flow tests conducted on hauliers, and the positivity rate of those tests.
