Abstract

Transport is an important element of the regional production and social infrastructure. The regional transportation system is a multi-element system which consists of all modes of transport, a transport infrastructure and other elements. Modern quality characteristics of the transportation system, particularly transport infrastructure, prevent the growing economy from solving production and social tasks. The transportation system influences the living standards of the population in the region. The term “living standards” has been used by international organizations since the 1970s. The United Nations Organization (UN) uses this term for describing a national development level. However, for Russia with its large territory and population size, it is unreasonable to assess living standards using one index for the whole country. Regional differences are crucial. Living standards of the population in Russian regions are different. It is necessary to monitor and assess the current situation in the regions and determine key factors causing regional differences in living standards in order to make timely decisions at federal and regional levels, and improve living standards in Russian regions. The parameter “living standards” allows regional government authorities to develop target programs and strategic development plans.
