Abstract. The current paper has presented a comprehensive analysis of the set of factors (socioeconomic, technical, psychological and organizational) that determine the nature and scale of crimes in the transport sector. There has been considered a wide range of issues related to the security of transport infrastructure, from identifying the main causes of offenses and to assessing their consequences for public order. Particular attention has been paid to both theoretical aspects of transport security and practical measures aimed at preventing crimes in this area. At the same time, there has been emphasized a necessity to improve legal regulation, including increasing liability for acts committed in transport. There has been highlighted the importance of modern technologies for minimizing the risks associated with criminal manifestations in the transport sector. The implementation of intelligent transport systems, including video surveillance, automatic recognition of vehicle numbers and faces, as well as platforms for monitoring the traffic situation in real time have been given as examples. There has been emphasized a role of digitalization in reducing crime rates, including through protecting transport systems from cyberattacks. In addition, there have been considered the issues of interaction between various government agencies and issues of international cooperation in preventing transport crimes. There have been analyzed such contemporary challenges as the growth of migration flows and its impact on the dynamics of crimes in the transport sector, the use of vehicles for terrorist purposes, and the adaptation of the transport security system to the conditions of globalization. There has been concluded the need for a comprehensive approach to transport security enforcement, which involves a combination of legal, social, technical and organizational tools.
