Public expenditure on transport
TSGB1301:
TSGB1301 shows public expenditure on transport in Great Britain from the Financial Year Ending (FYE) 2006 to FYE 2024. The data covers the UK public expenditure volumes on transport by real terms and the price of the time, from the financial year ending 2000. Information on public expenditure on transport can be found in Tables 4.2 and 4.3 of HMT Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses (PESA). To make meaningful comparisons over time, a gross domestic price (GDP) deflator is used to adjust nominal (current price) values to real (constant price) terms, removing the effect of inflation. Information on the deflator and how to apply it is published on the ONS website.
TSGB1302:
TSGB1302 shows public expenditure on transport in Great Britain by country and spending authority, from the FYE 2006 to FYE 2024. It covers the UK public expenditure volumes on transport by UK country and spending authority, from the FYE 2006. This is broken down by the type of expenditure (capital or current). Current spending money that is spent on day-to-day resources and administration costs. Capital spending is money that is spent on investment and things that will create growth in the future. Information on public expenditure by country and spending authority can be found in the Country and Regional Analysis database file.

Household expenditure on transport
TSGB1306:

It provides adjusted for inflation price data for motoring and bicycle costs, such as fuel, maintenance and the purchase of vehicles, and fares when using transport services broken down by transport mode.
Table TSGB1306b provides adjusted for inflation price data for motoring and fares when using transport services. Information on household expenditure on transport can be found in Table 3.2E of family spending in the UK. To make meaningful comparisons over time, a GDP deflator is used to adjust nominal (current price) values to real (constant price) terms, removing the effect of inflation.

Inflation and price indices
TSGB1307:
TSGB1307 covers the retail prices index (RPI) and consumer prices index (CPI) for motoring costs from 1997 to 2023. Data on the RPI for motoring expenditure is published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as part of their consumer price inflation time series (MM23).
TSGB1308:
TSGB1308 covers the RPI and CPI for transport components from 1997 to 2023. For the RPI, this covers all items, purchase of vehicles, maintenance, petrol and oil, tax and insurance, rail fares and bus and couch fares. For the CPI, this covers all items, purchase of vehicles, spare parts and accessories, fuel and lubricants, maintenance, operation of personal transport equipment, passenger transport by rail and passenger transport by road. The CPI for passenger transport by road and other transport services is published by the ONS as part of their consumer price inflation time series (MM23).
TSGB1309:
TSGB1309 covers the RPI, CPI and GDP deflators from 1998 to 2023. Price levels provided are based on 2023 prices. Information on deflators and how to apply them are published on the ONS website.

Vehicle duty paid by businesses (£m) is taken from HMRC’s Current Receipts under Taxes on production.
