Problems and prospects of expert support for the transport industry in Russia
The main goal of enforcing transport security in Russia is the stable and safe transport complex operation. The main issue of its provision is the federal state control (supervision) in the field of transport. From July 1, 2021 there have come in to force such laws as the Federal Law of July 22, 2020 No. 248-FZ “On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation” and resolution of the government of the Russian Federation No. 991 of June 25, 2021 “On approval regulations on federal state control (supervision) in the field of railway transport” and dated December 29, 2020 No. 2328 “On the procedure for certification of experts involved in the expertise for the state control (supervision), municipal control”, which provided for the possibility of involving experts for the state control (supervision) in the field of science, technology and economic activity. On July 30, 2021, on the basis of the Russian University of Transport, there was held the scientific and practical seminar on the implementation of the above normative acts, during which the deputy head of Rostransnadzor V. B. Gulin discussed problematic issues related to expert activities in the field of transport. There was substantiated expediency of establishing the Scientific and Expert Council of Rostransnadzor, which should include leading scientists of the domestic transport universities. In the future, on the basis of the Association “Higher Educational Institutions of Transport”, there is going to be set up a self-regulatory organization, which will unite all interested parties, uniting the management, training and control bodies, including experts in the field of transport.
