The meeting, held via videoconference, considered transport and logistics projects that are significant for the agglomeration and will provide additional impetus to socio-economic development. The event was attended by the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov, the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, and representatives of federal and regional authorities.
The participants discussed the progress of the work on the project to build a high-speed highway in the city of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. The Moscow-St. Petersburg HSR is a strategic project that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Government are paying special attention to. It will be the first of five high-speed highways planned for construction in accordance with the instructions of the Russian President.
Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev highly praised the progress of the transport reform in the Leningrad Region, aimed at qualitatively improving transport services for the region's population. As part of the implementation of plans to update the rolling stock on the line of adjacent interregional and inter-municipal routes, more than 500 medium and large class buses no older than 2023 are already running. A number of digital services have also been introduced to improve passenger comfort, such as a passenger mobile application, a passenger transport portal, and payment for travel using a single St. Petersburg card.
The meeting agenda also included a number of issues related to the development of suburban transport, the metro, and the construction of new road facilities.
"Cooperation between St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region in developing a unified transport system is aimed at improving transport provision for citizens of both entities. It is important to continue developing the infrastructure capabilities and transport potential of the regions. The Government of the Russian Federation supports this work and will continue to provide support in implementing the planned activities," noted Vitaly Savelyev.
