Since 2015, we have received our funding from government through five-year investment cycles or road periods, set through the Road Investment Strategy (RIS) process. In the Written Ministerial Statement on 24 March 2025, the Secretary of State for Transport announced that, for 2025-26, strategic roads will be funded through a one-year interim settlement. While government intends to set a new multi-year strategy, this requires time to plan following the Spending Review announced in June 2025. This document therefore sets out our delivery plan for the interim period of 2025-26.

The Operational Metrics Manual provides a comprehensive view of the performance measures National Highways will be monitored against over the interim settlement period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.

This evaluation covers the first seven years of Dart Charge's operation. We would typically undertake a five year after opening study. However it would have fallen in July 2020, during the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions. It was decided therefore to extend the evaluation to a seven year after analysis.
