The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade held a seminar on “Efficient Organization of Passenger and Luggage Transportation by Light Taxi in St. Petersburg.” More than 100 industry representatives, employees and students of the Polytechnic University took part in it.
The seminar was organized as part of the development of cooperation between the Higher School of Public Administration of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade and government bodies and subordinate institutions representing the transport block of the city government.
We have long and fruitfully cooperated with the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The seminar on the efficient organization of passenger and luggage transportation by passenger taxi in St. Petersburg is part of our joint work. The seminar was attended by more than 100 representatives of taxi companies, aggregators, as well as public organizations – MEFT and the Public Council for the Development of Taxi. As is known, passenger taxi is an integral part of the transport system of any large metropolis. According to statistics, more than three million passengers use passenger taxi services weekly – this is about 15% of all transportation by ground urban public passenger transport. Today’s meeting allowed us to discuss with carriers a number of current issues and challenges facing the industry, and to develop joint solutions to achieve our common goal – ensuring the safest and most comfortable passenger transportation. The seminar participants supported the legislative initiative to abolish the requirement for self-employed persons to have a permanent place of registration, noted Denis Usanov, Director of the State Institution “Transport Organizer”.
The seminar demonstrated SPbPU programs that are being implemented within the framework of interaction with the Transport Committee:
Master’s program “Economics and Transport Planning of Ecosystems”, supervised by Svetlana Gutman, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics of IPMEiT; Bachelor’s program “Digital Logistics” and Master’s program “Logistics Complexes of Transport and Industrial Enterprises”, supervised by Dmitry Plotnikov, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Transport of IMMIT.
The seminar was addressed to representatives of aggregators and carriers. The specialists discussed the issues of applying legislation in the field of passenger taxis in terms of the area of responsibility of the Transport Committee and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
General information on the procedure for providing public services established by the federal law on taxis, types of violations when submitting applications and notifications. The procedure for detaching and assigning a vehicle to a carrier in the register. The procedure for excluding vehicles from the register of passenger taxis. The procedure for submitting information about the concluded OSGOP agreement to the transport committee as part of the provision of public services.
Deputy Director of IPMET for educational and organizational work Maxim Ivanov spoke about the forms of interaction with the transport block of the city government at the Polytechnic University.
Leading representatives of the Transport Committee and its subordinate institutions are chairmen and members of state examination commissions in a number of training areas at IPMEIT and IMMIT. With the support of the city’s transport unit, several specialized educational programs for master’s and bachelor’s degrees are being implemented at the institutes. The city’s transport unit acts as a customer for final qualifying papers, student projects implemented in senior years, and within the framework of the discipline “Fundamentals of Project Activities”. For example, for two years in a row, inter-institute student teams led by Associate Professor of the Higher School of State University of IPMEIT Tamara Selentyeva have become winners of the university OPD competition with projects from Gorelectrotrans. Tamara Selentyeva and Maxim Ivanov are members of the public council under the St. Petersburg Transport Committee. Under the auspices of the summer schools of the student association “Public Administration Laboratory”, excursions are regularly held.
Having interacted with the Transport Committee for many years, we see how people change, and the Institute itself changes, but our cooperation remains unchanged. I am sure that today’s meeting will be useful and productive, not only for the participants, but also for our city. This seminar will create a unique platform for the productive exchange of best practices and innovative ideas among industry professionals. This will allow all participants not only to better understand the current challenges and opportunities, but also to develop joint strategies aimed at improving the quality of services provided in the taxi industry. Such events contribute to moving forward to establishing truly high standards in the field of passenger transportation, which will have a positive impact on the quality and safety of services provided to users, – shared the Director of IPMET Vladimir Shchepinin.
There is currently an active discussion about opening and implementing corporate educational programs for the city’s transport sector.
