1 A person is considered to have a disability if they report any physical or mental health condition or illness that lasts or is expected to last 12 months or more, and which limits their ability to carry out day-to-day activities. This is consistent with the core definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010.

2 Results based on those who provided the relevant information.

3 Include cases where disability status was not reported.

4 The given proportion with a disability is calculated from the National Travel Survey sample. This may differ from other sources.

5 The unweighted sample size includes individuals who completed the diary.

6 The unweighted sample size includes individuals who completed the interview.

National Travel Survey Statistics

Last updated: 10 September 2026

Next update: Summer 2027

The statistics presented in this spreadsheet were independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation in September 2018 and are therefore labelled‘Accredited Official Statistics’.

The results presented in this table are weighted. The base (unweighted sample size) is shown in the table for information.

Weights are applied to adjust for non-response to ensure the characteristics of the achieved sample match the population of England and for the drop off in trip recording in diary data.

All survey results contain an element of error due to sampling, non-response and measurement errors.Standard errorsfor key NTS estimates in 2025 are available.

Sample sizes and changes affecting series:Users are advised to note the following when considering trends over time:- Data for 2020 to 2022 were affected by changes in the methodology of data collection, changes in travel behaviour and a reduction of data collected due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic- Sample sizes for 2023 onwards have increased, resulting from an increase in the number of households invited to take part- In 2025, changes were made to the mode of data collection, from all travel diaries completed on paper in previous years, to most being completed digitally in 2025. This has resulted in a fall in the overall average number of trips recorded per person, with the most notable impacts in short walks, trips by car, and trips made for shopping, personal business and leisure purposes. Statistics based on interview questions are unaffected. More details are in thebackground quality report

The results presented in this table are weighted. The base (unweighted sample size) is shown in the table for information.

Weights are applied to adjust for non-response to ensure the characteristics of the achieved sample match the population of England and for the drop off in trip recording in diary data.

All survey results contain an element of error due to sampling, non-response and measurement errors.Standard errorsfor key NTS estimates in 2025 are available.

Sample sizes and changes affecting series:Users are advised to note the following when considering trends over time:- Data for 2020 to 2022 were affected by changes in the methodology of data collection, changes in travel behaviour and a reduction of data collected due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic- Sample sizes for 2023 onwards have increased, resulting from an increase in the number of households invited to take part- In 2025, changes were made to the mode of data collection, from all travel diaries completed on paper in previous years, to most being completed digitally in 2025. This has resulted in a fall in the overall average number of trips recorded per person, with the most notable impacts in short walks, trips by car, and trips made for shopping, personal business and leisure purposes. Statistics based on interview questions are unaffected. More details are in thebackground quality report
