DfT Public Service Agreement targets
The Department's current Public Service Agreement arising from the Spending Review 2004 came into effect from April 2005. The coverage of these new targets is broadly the same as the previous targets, with the addition of one new target on climate change. Some targets have evolved slightly but others are unchanged. The transfer of responsibility for London Underground (LU) to the Mayor means that a PSA target has not been retained for LU.
Please see the links below for details of the current and previous PSA targets, and the Technical Notes that accompany them. More details about PSA targets and performance can be found in the Department’s Annual Report and Autumn Performance Report.
