Abstract
The paper considers the importance of the uninterrupted functioning of the transport network, which is the most important condition for eliminating the transport inaccessibility of Arctic territories of the regions, thus excluding transport discrimination of the population living in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Besides, the paper provides a brief overview of international road repair and maintenance experience on the example of Norway, analysis of the standard for repair and maintenance of roads in the Russian Federation, proposals on the method of calculating the cash expenditures of replacement, repair and maintenance of roads in the Russian Federation. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 658 dated May 30, 2017 approved the standards of financial expenditures and the rules for calculating the size of federal budget allocations for replacement, repair and maintenance of federal roads. However, at the moment, not all regions have updated the regulatory framework on the norms of financial expenditures and the rules for calculating budget allocations for replacement, repair and maintenance of regional and inter-municipal roads. The existing methodology for calculating the cost of repair and maintenance of roads in the Arctic territory of Russia does not fully provide the need to bring the existing roads into normal transport and operational condition for their safe operation. The analysis shows that there is no systematic work to ensure sustainable financing of the road economy in the republic and the road industry is financed at a level much lower than the actual needs.
Highlights
The development of the Arctic territories of the regions of the Russian Federation is largely determined by the intensification of the transport industry, which in the new market conditions is turning into a cross-industry system
Smooth operation of the transport network, including all modes of transport, is an essential condition for eliminating the transport inaccessibility of the Arctic territories of the regions, which excludes transport discrimination of the population living in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation [5]
International practice in the field of estimating the financial expenditures of replacement, repair and maintenance of roads shows that the state authorities of foreign countries pay more attention to the quality of the execution of state contracts starting from design and survey work to the end of road construction
Summary
The development of the Arctic territories of the regions of the Russian Federation is largely determined by the intensification of the transport industry, which in the new market conditions is turning into a cross-industry system. Smooth operation of the transport network, including all modes of transport, is an essential condition for eliminating the transport inaccessibility of the Arctic territories of the regions, which excludes transport discrimination of the population living in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation [5]. Efficient transport infrastructure should combine the characteristics of branching, technical infrastructure and the length of a single network of roads. This requires a combination of costs for the construction of new roads, as well as replacement, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of existing roads
