Rail Strikes Survey<\/a>, shows that some passengers switch to driving to deal with the disruption caused by strikes. This may have impacts on congestion and pollution in some areas. The Government is focused on resolving this dispute so that critically needed workforce reforms can take place, supported by a fair pay deal. The trade unions will not prevent the need for these reforms by targeting public events with strike action.<\/p> <\/p>
The Department publishes daily usage of domestic transport by mode for Great Britain on a monthly basis on Gov.uk and traffic data for 12 May 2023 will be published on 14 June. A wide range of factors can impact traffic and associated emissions: given the comparable lack of data points, any direct assessment of the impact of strike action on 12 May 2023 on traffic and associated emissions would not be robust and the Department has no plans to model individual days.<\/p>

There are various estimates about the numbers of chargepoints required for HGVs. The Climate Change Committee suggested that 340,000 depot-based chargers would be needed by 2050 and over 900 ultra-rapid chargers. The European Automobile Manufacturer\u2019s Association suggested that the UK would require 2,450 ultra-rapid chargers by 2025, increasing to 8,200 by 2030. Recent research for Transport and Environment suggested that a total of 400,000 chargers would be required by 2050, 93% of which would be located at depots.<\/p>

The Department has not estimated the additional electricity generation or network capacity required specifically from electric logistics vehicles. Ofgem is responsible for regulating networks to deliver for Net Zero.

The RTFO does not prescribe the volume in which renewable fuels must be supplied by sector.

<\/p>
We have already introduced a digital version of the PIP2 health questionnaire, which is now offered to the majority of those making a claim. The full online apply service will offer claimants the option to claim PIP online, including the ability to save and resume and to upload medical evidence.<\/p>
