Transport Statistics Users Group Staff's Books

This is a comprehensive reference to sources of transport statistics available in Britain, including a complete directory of all international publications and sources; summaries of the major policy issues; and details of all government departments and agencies working in this field. It incorporates Sources of transport statistics, compiled by the Transport Statistics Users Group (TSUG)

This reference contains statistical data on UK transport usage on road, rail, sea and air, as well as vehicle registrations, accident rates, environmental impact and pollution levels. Including both private and public transport data, it aims to give a comprehensive picture of transport patronage.

Although road accident deaths have halved between 1958 and 2007 whilst the number of licensed motor vehicles and vehicle mileage covered increased by 400 per cent, the current rate of 3,000 deaths and 250,000 injuries is still an unacceptably high level. Road accidents are the largest single cause of death for people between the ages of 5 and 35 in Britain, and road accidents cost our economy some £18 billion each year. The number of deaths and injuries on roads far outweighs the deaths and injuries in other transport modes, and should be viewed as a major public health problem. The Government should establish a British Road Safety Survey to track overall casualty and safety trends, and review current methods for recording road-traffic injuries. The Committee recommends a systems approach to road safety: ensuring the vehicle, the road infrastructure, regulations and driver training are designed to similar safety and performance standards. Other recommendations include: more 20 mph speed limits; a more proactive approach to determining the safety benefits of new vehicle technologies; action on young drivers - who represent a disproportionate risk to road users - and vulnerable users: motorcyclists, elderly and child pedestrians and cyclists, horse riders; a higher priority given to enforcement of drink-drive and drug-drive offences. The Committee recommends the establishment of an independent Road Safety Commission with powers to work across the whole of government, ensuring that a high priority and adequate resources are given to road safety and that all government departments and agencies give active support. The Government should also establish a road accident investigation branch, like those in aviation, rail and marine.

This discussion paper describes the Government's transport policy objectives, in light of the recommendations of the Eddington transport study (2006, ISBN 9780118404877) and the Stern report on the economics of climate change (2007, ISBN 9780102944204). It sets out the Department for Transport's policy and investment plans for the period to 2013-14. It goes on to propose a new approach to longer-term strategic transport planning and development, building on the Eddington model, and explains how it will engage with key stakeholders during its implementation. Four key steps are identified in this approach: clarity about policy goals; identifying transport challenges; generating options to address them; and selecting options that deliver the best value for money in the context of sustainable development. The document highlights five broad goals within the Government's transport agenda: maximising the competitiveness and productivity of the economy; addressing climate change; protecting people's safety, security and health; improving quality of life through a healthy natural environment; and promoting greater equality of opportunity.

Personal passenger safety in railway Stations : Oral and written evidence, oral evidence taken on Wednesday 19 April 2006

Air travel has expanded hugely and in 2005, 228 million passengers travelled through UK airports. This title looks at the passenger experience of air travel from purchasing a ticket to boarding the plane, including travel to and from the airport, check-in and security, and complaint resolution.

The Driver and Vehicle Operator (DVO) Group is part of the Department for Transport and is made up of four agencies: the Driving Standards Agency, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). It was established in 2003 to promote closer collaboration between the agencies and to develop modernised co-ordinated services in order to deliver improved customer services and value for money. The Highways Agency is an executive agency of the Department for Transport and is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England. Issues considered in the Committee's report include how the agencies contribute to departmental objectives and policy, issues of accountability and transparency, agency funding and accounts, shared systems and co-ordination.
