Abstract. The article deals with the problems of financing and co-financing in the implementation of investment projects in the framework of public-private partnership in the transport sector. As a public-private partnership is considered to be one of the important tools for infrastructure transformations, the author explores the mechanism to coordinate public and private interests to implement socially significant projects. There is being conducted a comparative legal analysis of transport and investment legislation in relation to public-private partnership agreements. Accordingly, the implementation of the mechanism of public-private partnership in the transport sector is being also analyzed. The article discusses the means to implement the investment policy, the models of risk distribution between the state and private business. The author justifies the importance of organizational and legal guarantees for a private partner, as it is the main methodological and procedural means and conceptual approach of the study to protect the investor from adverse changes in national legislation. Structural development of the transport system according to the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 is connected with the need to develop various forms within the framework of signed agreements on public-private partnership. The author proposes measures and forms of interaction between public authorities and investors to implement transport projects with a long payback period. The attention has been paid that implementation of public-private partnership in the transport sector and the implementation of structural reforms in all modes of transport result in the decentralization of management and an increase in the share of private capital. In the implementation of the Transport Strategy, the use the public-private partnership mechanism can reduce the budget burden by attracting private investment in socially important sectors of the economy. This approach is a factor in the market demonopolization and can ensure competitive procedures in transport projects. The mechanism of public-private partnership in transport allows attracting real investment, protecting the domestic market, since only a Russian legal entity can be a private partner. Improvement of the mechanism of public-private partnership in the transport industry expands the possibility of transport campaigns to participate in investment activities. According to the analysis of the current transport and investment legislation, the article concludes that there is a certain imperfection in the implementation of the public-private partnership mechanism in transport, including the insufficient use of fiscal policy measures. Budget allocations in accordance with the budget classification should be synchronized with the plans for the implementation of investment agreements, taking into account the effect of limits of budgetary obligations. The main problems in the implementation of this mechanism are not fully concerted substantive and procedural and legal aspects. In this regard, it has been proposed to use the methodological basis of financial and budgetary regulation for high-quality coordination and execution of projects from both sides.

Abstract. Further development of the Russian economy and the development of the northern, Siberian and Far Eastern territories and new facilities of the mineral resource base in particular, becomes impossible when using the present transport and logistics system of the country. Therefore, there is an urgent necessity to develop transport, logistics, infrastructure as a basis for the growth of the economic potential of the country's territories. The article provides conceptual directions to develop the logistics system of the Russian Federation, to form a unified system of merchandize transportation, to create a logistics infrastructure and to promote further development of the entire economy of the country on this basis. It has been proposed to create and develop a unified transport and logistics system of Russia on the basis of the program-target approach. It is expedient to develop the governmental program "Enforcement of Logistics in the Russian Federation until 2030", in which it is necessary to envisage a comprehensive development of all types of transport, logistics infrastructure, traffic arteries and related industries, service facilities, social infrastructure; to set up a federal logistics center, which will secure a single product distribution policy and will run a unified transport and logistics system; to establish an international transportation center. The implementation of all mentioned above measures will create the basis for further sustainable development of energy, industry, agriculture, i.e. it will be a strong incentive to transform the economy of the whole country.

Abstract. The article analyzes the basic models which reduce the risks of economic activities in the implementation of the Transport Strategy for the period up to 2030 in projects based on public-private partnership that can rise the value and role of the competitive environment in the economy and increase the pace of the entire transport system development. The financing problems of the investment projects through public-private partnership in the transport sector are considered, and the mechanism of coordination of public-private objectives and interests in the projects are studied. The author makes a comparative legal analysis of transport and investment legislation of the public-private partnership agreements. The effective development of the transport system when implementing the Transport Strategy is associated with the necessity to develop various forms of the negotiated agreements on public-private partnership. There have been proposed measures and forms of interaction among public authorities and investors when implementing transport projects. The implementation of a joint Transport strategy using the mechanism of public-private partnership can result in budget burden decrease by attracting private investment in socially important sectors of the economy. The mechanism of public-private partnership in the transport sector will give an opportunity to attract real investments into transport industry. Improvement of the mechanism of public-private partnerships expands participation of transport companies in the investment activities and in modernization of the infrastructure. According to the analysis of the application of existing transport and investment legislation, one can make a conclusion about a certain defect of the implementation of the public-private partnership mechanism in transport, including the fact of insufficient use of fiscal policy measures. To implement the Transport strategy effectively it has been proposed to use measures of fiscal stimulus.
