DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM THROUGH THE CREATION OF A REGIONAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS CLUSTER

Abstract

The transport system is an important branch of the country’s economy. The direction and objectives of its development are determined by the state that is developing the Transport Strategy. The current Transport Strategy determines the need to increase the volume and speed of transit of goods and the development of multimodal logistics technologies. A slowdown in the development of the transport industry in Russia has been revealed. The stimulus for its development may be the creation of multimodal transport and logistics centers at the federal, regional and territorial levels. Transport and logistics clusters can be a form of implementation of such centers. On the territory of the Smolensk region, one of these centers of the regional level can be organized - to create a transport and logistics cluster. This will have a positive impact on the transport system, the economy of the region and the country. The goal is to consider ways to develop the transport system by creating a transport and logistics cluster in the region. Method or methodology of work: the study used a systematic approach and general scientific methods - statistical, comparative analysis, expert assessments and logical generalizations. Results – Shows how to create transportation and logistics centers using the example of a region. The scope of the results: it is advisable to apply the results to regional authorities, economic entities engaged in investment activities in the field of transport and logistics.
