We will undertake a discovery project to identify feasible options to create a Transport Data Marketplace. We will assess a range of options, identifying the costs and benefits of each, and understanding how they interact with the wider data ecosystem. We will work towards delivering a single, trusted catalogue for transport data, making it easier for organisations to search, identify, and access datasets across different modes. This will improve discoverability and help all parts of the transport system make better use of the data that already exists. We will work with organisations to ensure this marketplace is aligned with existing data catalogues and other marketplaces, making updates easier and avoiding the need to rebuild existing data products, unless sensible to do so. To avoid duplication and confusion, we will also retire Find Transport Data as a service.

DfT will undertake a discovery to identify feasibility options for a Transport Data Marketplace – but has already decided to retire the Find Transport Data service to "avoid duplication and confusion"?
