Abstract. The current paper has discussed the main tendencies in transport education in Russia, underlined its most significant distinctive features and their reflection in the directions of the Russian transport system development, set out in the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation. There has been noted that since the beginning of the XXI century the main tendency in the education of Russia has been centralization, which is implemented in the form of establishing federal, flagship and network universities. Based on the previous analysis of software platforms of transport universities, there was drawn a conclusion that universities of this profile have modern distance learning systems, which are based on the Moodle platform common to most universities. The experience accumulated in transport universities during the educational process using distance learning technologies allows speaking about the reality of the project of a network transport university in Russia. The organizational and legal form of such a university should be a consortium of transport universities, which implies an equal partnership of all participating universities. This project is aimed at integrating the scientific potential of transport universities and improving the quality of training the transport specialists by strengthening cooperation, interuniversity connection, and cooperation with transport industry enterprises in the Russian Federation. There has been drawn a conclusion that in the context of digitalization of the transport industry and the economy, these are network universities that have the highest potential, since they combine the potential advantages of various universities on a voluntary basis, providing conditions for mutual enrichment both in methodological and technological facets.

The relevance and practical significance of the study of issues of public law regulation of training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities is substantiated by the special significant transport security for the functioning of the Russian economy, enforcement of the national security, which has a unique geopolitical position, territory, and length of transport routes. In the current paper, in accordance with logic passing from the abstract to the concrete, there have been considered the problematic issues of public law regulation of social relations, arising during training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities. Due to the determined purpose, which is to develop scientifically based proposals for improving the system of administrative and legal acts regulating of training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities, based on a systematic legal analysis of conflicts and gaps in legislation in the field of transport security, there has been solved several research tasks. There have been formulated and substantiated the proposals for improving several seemingly important aspects of the legal consolidation of directions, forms and procedures for training the staff of transport security forces. There has been critically analyzed the content of the legal categories actively used in transport legislation which made it possible to fix some significant conflicts and gaps in the administrative legislation governing relations in the field of training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities. Based on the study results, there have been formulated several proposals to improve the current transport legislation, which can be used to develop and subsequently apply a professional standard for the staff of transport security forces, which, in turn, can contribute to enforcing security in the process of functioning of the elements of the Russian transport system in modern conditions.
