Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held a meeting dedicated to the development of the railway infrastructure of the Central Transport Hub (CTH).
The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Yuri Gordeev, Deputy Minister of Transport Alexei Shilo, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of the City of Moscow Maxim Liksutov, Vice Governor of the Moscow Region Vladimir Loktev, representatives of Russian Railways and federal agencies.
"The Central Transport Hub is a strategically important facility for the economy and transport industry of Russia. The implementation of the entire project and the full-scale introduction of planned transportation will provide, in addition to reducing intervals of railway transport and reducing the load on roads, a new impetus to the socio-economic development of the central macroregion, an increase in the volume of housing construction and an expansion of the labor market. Despite the huge amount of work already done, there are still many tasks ahead that we will solve within the framework of the federal project "Development of the railway infrastructure of the Central Transport Hub" as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". The President has set the task of connecting 11 regions of the Central Federal District and ensuring passenger traffic of about 850 million people by 2030. Among the main tasks are increasing the connectivity of the regions of the Central Transport Hub, creating new transport hubs, stations and stopping points," said Marat Khusnullin.
The Central Territorial Administration includes 11 regions: the city of Moscow, Moscow, Vladimir, Tula, Tver, Ivanovo, Smolensk, Ryazan, Kaluga, Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions.
Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of the City of Moscow Maxim Liksutov noted during the meeting that increasing mobility is an extremely important factor in the well-being of the economy of the entire country. Therefore, investments in transport are what should be done first and foremost.
"At the first stage of the Central Transport Hub project, the most important transport projects were implemented – the Moscow Central Circle and the Moscow Central Diameters, and the standards of the Moscow metro were actually introduced to rail transport. This is, firstly, the quality of the rolling stock, secondly, a clear tariff system and, thirdly, a timed schedule. At the second stage, we will improve the rail connectivity of 11 regions. When we talk about extending the diameters – the ground metro – to the regions, we mean extending the operation of these services, which significantly improve the quality of travel," said Maxim Liksutov.
