Ensuring Sustainable Development of the Regional Passenger Transport Systems on the Basis of Economically Sound Tariffs for Transportation Services (a Case Study of Krasnoyarsk Krai)

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to ensure the sustainable development of local (regional) passenger transport systems located in large regions, where transport has a social significance. The basic approach to the study of this problem is a consideration of the economic security of the transport system subjects in the process of sustainable development. The economic stability of the transport system subjects is considered from the perspective of building a relationship between them by providing transport services at minimal cost and with a maximum useful effect. This condition can be achieved by using standard costs and forming economically sound tariffs for transportation services. Using the example of road passenger transport of Krasnoyarsk Krai (the Russian Federation), the paper considers how the tariff for transport services defined with account of the maximum normative capacity of each cost item enables to ensure the balance of economic interests of transportation participants and economic security of the transport organizations, as well as to create conditions for sustainable development of the entire regional transport system. The article information may be useful when planning and adjusting the regional transport system management and creating conditions for balanced development of the transport system.
