TRANSPORT TRENDS : 2005 EDITION

The Department for Transport has today published the eighth edition of Transport Trends. This National Statistics publication provides readers with an introduction to the major trends in transport and travel in Great Britain. Through the inclusion of many charts it presents an overview of key trends over the past 25 years, and highlights some of the key issues. It is intended as a companion volume to Transport Statistics Great Britain, which contains reference tables containing more detailed figures and some longer time trends.

Transport Trends 2005 follows the structure of the previous edition, with the inclusion where possible of more up to date data. There are sections covering the following topics:

Roads, vehicles and congestion
Personal travel by mode
Public transport
Variation in personal travel and access to services
Freight and logistics
Ports and airports
Safety
Health and the environment

The complete publication, including a brief summary and all the data underlying the graphics, can be found on the Department's web-site.
