Transport infrastructure as the main link in economic relations
Abstract
The article considers the development of transport in the infrastructure system of Ukraine. Several main problems that hinder the development of transport infrastructure have been identified. The role of transport in the sphere of economic relations is determined. Transport, as an infrastructure sector, should provide timely and efficient freight and passenger transportation, promote the integration of Ukraine's economy into European and world economic systems. However, the current unsatisfactory condition of the rolling stock of various modes of transport in Ukraine causes a low level of use of Ukraine's potential as a transit country and, accordingly, reduces the competitiveness of the country's economy. Our state has significant potential in the development of air transport and increasing the volume of cargo and passenger traffic by air fleet of foreign and domestic production. But to realize this potential, it is important to adapt legislation to European standards. The importance of transport is that it provides links between industries, enterprises, regions of the country, foreign countries. It should be noted that the problems associated with the need to modernize the transport infrastructure of Ukraine do not lose their relevance over a long period of time. Transport is a necessary condition for the emergence and development of intensive exchange of goods between the individual territories involved in this division. The expansion of the territorial division of labor, its improvement and the emergence of new, more efficient forms largely depends on the level of development of transport. The role of the transport industry in the modern economy is very large. The efficiency of other industries and, consequently, the economic well-being of the country depend on its efficiency. The level of development of transport infrastructure, which provides the movement of freight and passenger flows, directly affects not only the socio-economic growth of territorial social systems. The developed transport system forms the "framework" of the regions and is the basis for the territorial division of labor. Transport is a necessary condition for the territorial division of labor, specialization of regions, and their integrated development.
