Department For Transport
To monitor transport activity on a timelier basis for topical issuesrelating to transport, the Department for Transport (DfT) has developed updates on the following:
| Indicator | Frequency of update | Timing of update | Date first published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practical car driving tests | Monthly | Every second Wednesday | 9 November 2022 |
| Electric vehicle public charging devices available in the UK | Monthly | Every second Wednesday | 7 December 2021 |
| Large goods vehicle vocational testing in Great Britain | Monthly | Every second Wednesday | 10 November 2021 |
| Road haulier coronavirus testing in Great Britain | Weekly | No longer published | 11 March 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.
