As of May 2023, the cycling series will no longer be updated as part of this publication. A new monthly cycling index has been developed and will be published by the Department for Transport (DfT) active travel statistics team at the end of April 2023. This new index will be available on the walking and cycling statistics page. For further information on the new statistics, please refer to the statistical release, frequently asked questions document, or contact active travel statistics.

These statistics on transport use are published weekly.

For each day, the Department for Transport (DfT) produces statistics on domestic transport:

  1. road traffic in Great Britain
  2. rail passenger journeys in Great Britain
  3. Transport for London (TfL) tube and bus routes
  4. bus travel in Great Britain (excluding London)
  5. cycling in England

The associated methodology notes set out information on the data sources and methodology used to generate these headline measures.

The table below provides the reference of regular statistics collections published by DfT on these topics, with their last and upcoming publication dates.
