Problems of transport security and quality of transport services of urban settlements of Russia of various people

Abstract

The level of development of the country's transport infrastructure is one of the most important civilizational, geographical, economic and social characteristics of the state. The article is based on the materials of a scientific study that analyzes the final data of a comprehensive observation of the living conditions of the Russian population (for urban localities) in the field of transport services and transport security of the population according to research indicators for 2018. Analysis of data from the comprehensive monitoring of the population's living conditions, conducted by the Russian Federal Agency for statistics once every two years, contributes to a better understanding of local and regional processes in the field of public satisfaction with the level and quality of transport services, availability of various types of vehicles and public transport. In General, according to the comprehensive monitoring of the population's living conditions, the indicators of transport services and transport security of the population differ significantly in urban localities of different populations, especially when comparing the indicators of small and medium-sized urban localities (up to 100 thousand people) with those of larger cities. The article draws conclusions about the differences between urban localities of different population density in terms of public transport services and the availability of various types of personal transport. The use of personal cars and motorcycles is significantly higher in small urban localities, which, in our opinion, is due to the lack of development of public transport in them. Most often, private transport is used by middle-aged people (about 45 years), as well as large families. Taxi services are also more popular in localities with less traffic (this can probably be explained by the weaker development of public transport in them). The share of the population using public transport naturally increases from 46 % to 72–73 %, and it increases simultaneously with the growth of the population in urban localities (from 50 to 500 thousand inhabitants). However, this indicator begins to decline slightly as the number of residents of urban localities increases.
