Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking with international counterparts to compare the risks of covid-19 transmission in the provision of transport services.
This question was answered on 8th March 2021
Due to the diversity of the transport sector, the science evidence base for each mode will differ and the Department has commissioned research to reflect this.
The Department has worked with SAGE, Industry and Academia to develop the Transport Risk Assessment for COVID Knowledge (TRACK) project. This is an 18 month, £1.7 million UKRI-funded project to understand and model transmission of COVID-19 on public transport.
