Speaking at a regular meeting of the steering committee of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation for exhibitions and fairs, Minister Maxim Sokolov emphasised the significance of the event and called it an "accompanying brand of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation" that will serve as an indicator of the performance of Russia's entire transport complex.

Proactive development of the transport infrastructure and efforts to ensure that regional transport strategies comply with the fundamental federal document are the key ideas of this year's "Transport Week".

Traffic Management in the Russian Federation", the V Russian University Games of Transport University Students, and the "TranspART 2014" All-Russian Art Festival of Transport University Students.

The key event of the transport sector annually brings together more than 2,000 delegates from Russia, the CIS and non-CIS countries representing all modes of transport. More than 80 leading transport companies present their innovations at the Forum's exhibition area of 3,500 square metres.
