SUSTAINABILITY OF TRANSPORT SYSTEMS: THE CASE OF LARGE RUSSIAN CITIES

Summary/Abstract: The article describes a study devoted to the assessment and analysis of the state of transport systems in Russian cities. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that the transport system significantly affects the comfort of living in the city, its economic condition, the environmental situation in it, that is, it predetermines the sustainable development of the city. In this regard, the aim of the study was to study the sustainability of transport systems in large Russian cities. The study was based on such methods as scoring indicators and calculating the integral index on its basis, which demonstrated the degree of sustainability of urban transport systems. In the integrated assessment, various indicators were used that reflect three basic aspects of sustainable development: social, economic and environmental. Also, to compare cities, the method of ranking and analysis of the dynamics of individual indicators of transport development was used. The study found that while urban transport systems need to be improved. The key problem can be considered a decrease in the interest of residents of Russian cities in public transport. This negatively affects all aspects of the sustainability of transport systems. At the same time, the study of foreign experience has shown that to overcome this problem, it is necessary to reorganize and form a single intermodal transport system of the city, which is also relevant for modern Russian cities
