Abstract. The current paper has presented a comprehensive study of the legal mechanisms and practical aspects of interaction between the Transport Prosecutor’s Office and the Office of the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Russian Federation in protecting the rights and legitimate interests of minors in transport, particularly rail transport, a source of increased danger. There has been analyzed the constitutional framework, federal legislation regulating the activities of both institutions, as well as by-laws and departmental orders that determine the forms and procedures of their cooperation. Particular attention has been paid to identifying gaps and conflicts in the legal regulation of interaction, analyzing the efficiency of existing coordination practices (joint inspections, information exchange, coordinating positions on the protection of violated rights, preventive work), as well as justifying the necessity to improve the regulatory framework and administrative procedures to strengthen the protection of a vulnerable category of citizens, namely children, in the specific conditions of the transport infrastructure. The study is relevant due to the insufficient scientific development of issues of institutional cooperation in this area and the practical need to optimize mechanisms for protecting children’s rights in transport.
