    Description

    Cars and vans were the most popular mode of transport for commuting purposes in England. In 2019, car and van drivers travelled an average of 782 miles per person per year, roughly three times the distance travelled by those using surface rail as a means of commuting. In Great Britain overall, the car was used by more than two thirds of commuters, by far the majority of those travelling to work. In the past three years, the popularity of the car was unchallenged.

    Train commutes the longest

    The average commuting time for those travelling via rail was an hour, which suggested that those using rail tended to do so when needing to traverse greater distances. By comparison, the average car commute was 26 minutes long in 2017.

    Company cars have greatest annual mileage

    The greatest commuting mileage of car drivers was covered by those driving company vehicles. In 2018, a company car user drove nearly four times the distance someone using a private car travelled.

    Description

    Please note that following the release of National Travel Survey 2012, the following publication may contain information that subsequently has been revised.

    The National Travel Survey presents information on personal travel in Great Britain during 2011. It contains the latest results and trends on how and why people travel with breakdowns by age, gender and income. It also contains trends in driving licence holding; school travel; and concessionary travel.

    On 13 December 2012, 2011 NTS results were published in 45 tables. The remaining tables contain data up to 2010 only. The 2012 NTS results will be published in July 2013 and will contain an update of all tables with both 2011 and 2012 data.

    Main results

    In 2011:

    • residents of Great Britain made an average of 958 trips per person and travelled 6,826 miles.
    • the average trip length was 7.1 miles
    • by purpose, most of the decline in overall trips rates between 1995 and 2011 can be accounted for by a fall in shopping and visiting friends
    • trips by car (as a driver or passenger) accounted for 64% of all trips made and 79% of distance travelled
    • on average, females make more trips than males, but males travel much further each year
    • 79% of males and 65% of females had a full driving licence
    • concessionary travel pass take-up was 79% of those eligible (82% of females and 76% of males)

    Between 1995 and 2011, overall trips rates fell by 12%. Trips by private modes of transport fell by 13% while public transport modes increased by 3%. Walking trips saw the largest decrease.

    Since 1995, the average number of car driver trips by men has fallen by 18% and average distance travelled fell by 16%, while car driver trips and distance travelled by women increased by 11% and 23% respectively. Men still drive nearly twice as many miles per year than women.

    Further information including the technical report, standard error estimates for 2009 and the UKSA assessment can be found at the National Travel Survey page.

    Description

    The average motorist in the United Kingdom drove up to 10,000 miles per year. In 2018, ** percent of respondents stated that they drove between one to ***** miles annually, which was an increase compared to the year before. Mileage for private travel was highest when compared to other purposes, according to a governmental survey among British car drivers. In 2017, an average of roughly ***** miles were driven for private reasons.

    Company cars have highest mileage

    The above mentioned governmental survey also found that those driving company cars tended to travel more than private car users. This was mainly due to the extra distances travelled for business and commuting.

    Most UK residents use a car every day

    A 2018 Statista survey found that more than half of the UK residential population used a car every day. Only *** percent of respondents reported using a car less often than several times a year, with not *** never using such passenger vehicles.

    Description

    Accessible Tables and Improved Quality

    As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy, processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.

    All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.

    If you wish to provide feedback on these changes then please contact us.

    Description

    A number of files in the statistical data set pages accompanying this release were published prematurely in error for a brief period, due to a technical problem. These files were removed from the website as soon as the error became known.

    The NTS contains the latest results and trends on how and why people travel with breakdowns by age, gender and income. It also contains trends in driving licence holding; school travel; and concessionary travel.

    Update - 19 September 2013

    An error has been found in the data processing and calculation of household income quintiles. This error affects the NTS 2012 Statistical Release and tables NTS0703 to NTS0705. The error has been corrected and the affected Statistical Release and tables have been revised. We apologise for this error and any inconvenience caused by it.

    Main results

    Over the long term, trip rates increased until the mid-1990s, but have since fallen back to the 1970s level. In 2012, the average person made 954 trips per year compared to 956 in 1972/73 and 1,086 in 1995/97.

    In 2012, the average distance travelled was 6,691 miles which is 49% higher than in 1972/73, but 4% lower than in 1995/97. Average trip length was 7 miles.

    Since 1995/97, trips by private modes of transport fell by 14% while public transport modes increased by 2%. Walking trips fell by 27%.

    Most of the decline in overall trips rates between 1995/97 and 2012 is due to falls in shopping, visiting friends and commuting purposes.

    In 2012, trips by car (as a driver or passenger) accounted for 64% of all trips made and 78% of distance travelled.

    On average, females make more trips than males, but males travel much further each year. The average number of car driver trips and distance travelled by men is falling while those by women are increasing.

    Concessionary travel pass take-up was 79% of those eligible (82% of females and 74% of males); ranging from 66% in rural areas to 88% in London.

    People in the highest household income quintile group made 28% more trips than those in the lowest income quintile and travelled nearly 3 times further.

    Estimated average annual car mileage was 8,200 miles.

    Description

    In 2024, passengers travelling on a domestic flight had the largest carbon footprint of transportation modes in the UK, at *** grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilometer (g CO₂e per km). By comparison, the carbon footprint of passengers travelling by train was just ** g CO₂e per km. Which cars have the largest carbon footprint? After flights, cars typically had the highest carbon footprints per kilometer in the UK. The average petrol car produced *** grams of CO₂e per km in 2024, while diesel cars averaged roughly *** grams of CO₂e per km. Both vehicle types had higher emissions per kilometer than the average battery electric vehicle (BEV). In terms of market segments, luxury cars had the highest average carbon footprint of all car types. Passenger cars are the largest source of UK transportation emissions by far. Transportation emissions in the UK There had been little change in UK transportation GHG emissions since 1990, until a dramatic slump in 2020 due the outbreak of COVID-19. While emissions rebounded in the following two years, they are projected to have fallen again in 2023 to around *** MtCO₂e. Although this figure is well below pre-pandemic levels, transportation is still the largest source of emissions in the UK.

    Wales
    Description

    The statistics refer to the volume of road traffic in Wales by type of vehicle. Road traffic estimates for Wales are compiled by the Department for Transport on behalf of the Welsh Government. These estimates are based on the annual roadside manual road traffic counts carried out across Wales during the year. These roadside counts are combined with automatic traffic count (ATC) data and road lengths to produce overall traffic estimates. Traffic estimates for major roads are based on a census of all such roads whereas traffic estimates for minor roads are estimated by calculating growth rates from a fixed sample of count points on the minor road network. Further details of the methodology are available from the DfT at the link below: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-traffic-speeds-and-congestion-statistics-guidance. The analysis by vehicle type is based on roadside observation where vehicles are classified according to their general appearance. The vehicle types identified are: 1) Pedal cycles: Includes all non-motorised cycles, 2) Motorcycles: Two-wheeled motor vehicles, including mopeds, motor scooters and motorcycle combinations, 3) Cars and taxis: Includes estate cars, all light vans with windows to the rear of the driver's seat, passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, three-wheeled cars, motorised-invalid carriages, Land Rovers, Range Rovers and Jeeps. Cars towing caravans or trailers are counted as one vehicle, 4) Buses and coaches: Includes all public service vehicles and works buses other than vehicles with less than 10 seats, 5) Light vans: All goods vehicles up to 3,500kg gross vehicle weight. This includes all car-based vans and those of the next larger carrying-capacity, such as transit vans. Also included are ambulances, pick-ups, milk floats and pedestrian-controlled motor vehicles. Most of this group are delivery vans of one type or another, 6) Goods vehicles: All goods vehicles over 3,500kg gross vehicle weight. Includes tractors (without trailers), road-rollers, box vans and similar large vans. A two-axle motor tractor unit without trailer is also included, 7) All motor vehicles: All vehicles except pedal cycles. Traffic volume is measured using Vehicle Kilometres (VKM), which are calculated by multiplying the annual average daily flow of traffic by the corresponding length of road. For example, 1 vehicle travelling 1 kilometre a day for a year would be 365 VKM over a year.
