The Transport Statistics Group (TranSG) will play an important role in assessing the needs and priorities of key national users of transport statistics. The group will also facilitate the effective exchange of information on all areas of transport statistics between the main compilers and users of these statistics.
The role of the Group shall be to:
1. Advise on the transport statistics required to support national and regional policy needs;
2. Examine and make recommendations on all quality aspects of transport statistical outputs, such as timeliness, relevancy, consistency, formats, future plans etc;
3. Promote best practice in the compilation of transport statistics;
4. Investigate alternative sources for transport statistics;
5. Provide and share information on progress regarding all transport surveys/data projects and other relevant issues relating to transport statistics;
6. Consider other statistical and measurement issues as necessary.
The CSO and DTTAS will be responsible for organising meetings and co-chairing the Group.
The agenda will be open and all members of the group are invited to suggest items for discussion and contribute papers, presentations or other research. Membership of the Group may be extended (permanently or temporarily) if necessary, depending on the subject being discussed, to include other representatives or organisations.
TranSG shall meet once each year. More frequent meetings may be held if the need arises.
