We continue to welcome any general feedback on our statistical outputs, which you can email to transport statistics.
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, updated weekly at 9.30am on Wednesdays.
Statistics on transport use by mode
Developing faster indicators of transport activity
To monitor transport activity on a timelier basis for topical issues relating to transport, DfT has developed updates on the following:
| Indicator | Frequency of update | Timing of update | Date first published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road haulier coronavirus testing in Great Britain | Weekly | No longer published | 11 March 2021 |
| Large goods vehicle vocational testing in Great Britain | Monthly | Every second Wednesday | 10 November 2021 |
| Electric vehicle public charging devices available in the UK | Monthly | Every second Wednesday | 7 December 2021 |
In special circumstances, the timing of updates might change for some indicators. Where applicable, the date of the next update will be added to the “Timing of update” field.
Some of the issues will be short term in nature, and the relevant updates will cease once the issue is no longer either in operation or of relevance.

Forthcoming publications
This schedule gives the planned publication dates of all of the department’s annual, quarterly and compendium statistical releases for the coming year.
For reasons of brevity, we have omitted the monthly release of statistics on UK international sea passengers, SPAS0107, usually released on the second Wednesday of each calendar month.
Following the recent change to online data collection for the Road Freight surveys, further work is needed to fully understand the methodological change, therefore the Road freight statistics: October 2020 to September 2021 publication for 14 April 2022 has been postponed. The next publication will be Road freight statistics: 2021 in late summer.
We are adapting our statistics publications in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Please see the background information for further details on these changes.
