<p>The Government is determined to ensure that Ukrainian arrivals encounter a warm
reception in the UK, and the Department for Transport is presently engaging with DVLA
colleagues to explore policy options, including possible options surrounding the vehicle
registration fees for Ukrainian plated vehicles entering the UK.</p><p> </p><p>My
Department has also worked with the transport sector to provide wider assistance to
those fleeing here from the conflict. Since mid-March 2022, all Ukrainians that enter
the UK with the appropriate visa can travel on public transport from their port of
entry to their end destination at no cost if travel occurs within 48 hours of arrival.
This includes rail, bus and all Transport for London routes. To date, over 2,200 rail
journeys have been made via the free onward travel offer, and many more on UK bus,
coach and tram services. On the 20 June, this scheme was extended for a further six
months.</p>
