Abstract
On September 25, 2015, UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Two SDG targets are directly transport-related. Target 3.6: By 2020 to halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents. Target 11. 2: Aims to, by 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations - women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons. There are other goals, the achievement of which is impossible without the development of transport. All SDGs related to transport are conventionally divided into 4 groups: safety, universal access, efficiency, green mobility. The purpose of this article is to review the dynamics of changes in the Republic of Belarus of indicators for achieving the goals of the universal access group.

- for SDG 9.1: - the proportion of the rural population living within 2 km of the year-round road; - the volume of passenger and freight traffic by mode of transport; - density of public roads with hard surface; - for SDG 11.2: - the proportion of the population with convenient access to public transport, disaggregated by sex, age and disability
Summary
Transport is a field of activity that concerns almost every citizen, and a number of SDGs depend on the quality of its functioning. The list of such SDGs grouped in groups is shown in Figure 1 (Azemsha et al, 2020; Sustainable Mobility for All, n.d.). In rural areas, where the majority of the world’s poor live, limited access to transport is a key challenge to promoting sustainable development. This problem is most relevant for underdeveloped African countries. 6 in 10 women in major Latin American cities report they've been physically harassed while using transport systems (Sustainable Mobility for All, n.d.)
