DfT has access to real-time and near real-time transport network data across all modes of transport, from both publicly available and subscription data sources. DfT uses this data for a range of business-as-usual purposes, as well as for reporting during major incidents. DfT closely coordinates its use of data and analysis with the National Situation Centre in the Cabinet Office, where appropriate, during significant national crises.
