The state of the Transport Industry and Road Infrastructure

Normative legal regulation in the sphere of road, rail, air, river, urban land-electric vehicles and road infrastructure - one of the main tasks of the State Service of Transport and Roads, established in April 2012. As the head of department Maxim Posazhennikov mentioned, the authority to conduct inspection was transferred last year in the management of the State Service. With this view, a unified information system for cars, passenger cars and motorcycles was created. One of the benefits of the reorganization was to reduce the list of documents required to undergo inspection. Instead of a medical certificate, power of attorney documents for conversion equipment is now sufficient to provide a certificate of vehicle registration, driver's license and proof of payment provided for taxes and fees. Such reforms in the department are planned for construction equipment, which will ensure its accurate accounting and control.

Maxim Posazhennikov in his report drew attention to the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the Civil Service and the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation in July 2014. It is planned as a part of the document to develop international passenger services, share best practices and new technologies in the transport sector, to provide mutual assistance in the training of qualified specialists.

It is about six million rubles. Let’s remember that for persons entitled to partially pay for travel from the beginning of the year: the bus fee is 1 ruble, suburban routes - 1 ruble 50 kopecks, long-distance - 4 rubles. The ministry noted that these measures internally and focused on providing opportunities for further action.

Figures of expenditure aimed at the development of the industry at the reporting meeting of the board of the State Service of Transport and Roads. Over 155 million rubles was spent on the reconstruction, capital and average repair of highways. These funds are insufficient. 2 billion rubles is required to bring Pridnestrovian roads in good technical condition.

High deterioration of equipment remains the problem of the industry. Today 556 units of vehicles and road construction machinery 326 completely worn out. Despite this, road construction equipment is maintained in working order.

According to the Ministry of Finance for the Road Fund provided grants in the amount of 98 million rubles for 2015, which is 38 million less than in 2014. Reducing income funds by 28% decreases the possibility of the volume of road works. However, as noted in the profile department, this year it is planned to fulfill the high priority
