Vitaly Savelyev and Marat Khusnullin took part in the work of the final board of the Ministry of Transport.
The final board meeting of the Ministry of Transport was held in the Column Hall of the House of Unions. The board meeting was attended by Transport Minister Roman Starovoit, heads of relevant committees of the State Duma and the Federation Council, subordinate organizations of the Ministry of Transport, and veterans of the transport industry.
Speaking to the participants, Vitaly Savelyev separately focused on some of the results of 2024. The 2nd stage has been completed, the 3rd stage of the development of the Eastern Polygon of the railways has started. The target parameter of carrying capacity for control sections in the amount of 180 million tons has been achieved. The construction of the first high-speed railway in Russia Moscow – St. Petersburg has begun – this summer, construction work will be launched on several sections of the high-speed railway at once. The volume of passenger transportation in civil aviation in 2024 reached 111.7 million people. This is 6% more than in 2023. The capacity of seaports in 2024 reached 1.4 billion tons. The fleet of unmanned trucks on the M-11 highway already amounts to 67 vehicles, in the future – the launch of unmanned trucks on the Central Ring Road this year, and on the M-12 “Vostok” highway in 2026. Modernization, technical equipment and fitting out of 85 checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation were carried out.
“The transport complex is a backbone sector of the national economy. It defines a solid foundation for the socio-economic development of the country. An important event in the transport sector was the formation in 2024, on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, of the national project “Efficient Transport System”. The implementation of the national project’s activities will increase the volume of transportation along international transport corridors by at least one and a half times by 2030 compared to the 2021 level and ensure an increase in the aviation mobility of the population by at least 50% compared to the 2023 level,” said Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
“Thanks to systemic solutions, constant attention and control from the President, personal involvement of the Prime Minister, coordinated staff work with governors, the construction industry in terms of road transport activities has shown stable growth and very decent results in recent years. From 2019 to 2024, we built and reconstructed more than 5 thousand km of highways, since 2018 we have laid more than 1 billion square meters of asphalt pavement. All this is an unprecedented scale of road construction in our country. It is especially valuable that the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, which was successfully completed, not only achieved high indicators, but also received maximum support from the population. This year, we have begun implementing a new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, in which work will also continue in the road section. The new national project has serious tasks, including increasing the share of federal roads, roads in agglomerations and the backbone network that meet standards to 85%, and regional roads to 60%. We have already formed a road activity plan, and a new six-year plan will soon be signed. It will include the construction of the international corridors “North-South” and “East-West”, the transport route “Russia”, as well as 50 bypasses of cities and other key tasks that are necessary to improve the road framework of our country,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
In 2024, eight bypass sections were put into operation on the federal road network of Rosavtodor, their total length was 367.7 km. In particular, a bypass was built around five settlements (Isametovo, Verkhneyarkeevo, Layashty, Ishkarovo and Asyanovo) on the M-7 Volga highway in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
The Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit emphasized that the past year was a turning point for the country’s transport complex. “A number of fateful decisions for the industry were made. The most important comprehensive programs were approved, which largely determined the vector of development of domestic transport. The new national projects “Efficient Transport System” and “Infrastructure for Life” prepared on the instructions of the President have already started working. This is a real program of our actions for the next six years,” said Roman Starovoit.
