Details
If you have been selected to take part in the Continuing Survey of Road Goods Transport, Northern Ireland (CSRGT, NI), you may download the paper or electronic versions of the survey from this page or access the guidance.
What is the CSRGT (NI)?
The CSRGT (NI) is run by the Department for Transport (DfT) to obtain details of domestic and international activity of NI-registered HGVs.
Why have I been chosen?
The survey team at DfT uses details held by the DVLA to draw a random sample of HGVs. The vehicles are chosen from groups which depend on vehicle type, vehicle weight, and the traffic area in which the vehicle is registered. Vehicles are not selected on the basis of name of company. However, the more vehicles that your company owns then the greater chance you have of being included in the sample.
What is the survey about?
The owners of NI-registered HGVs are asked to record the details of UK and international activity within a specified survey week.
How are the results used?
The results help DfT build a picture of the domestic and international activity of NI-registered hauliers, and together with CSRGT and IRHS surveys, build a picture of the activity of all UK-registered HGVs. The data collected form part of the evidence base for making decisions on transport policy within the UK and the EU.
Aggregated statistics are produced which are freely available to the general public.
Results are published as National Statistics and are available from the road freight statistics page.
