Lagos city has abundant navigable inland waterways which if fully harnessed would help minimise road traffic congestion, pollution and provide low cost means of long distance travel within the city. This study examines inland water transport services on Lagos lagoon focusing on Ikorodu-Ebutte Ero route. Primary data were obtained using structured questionnaires. While, secondary data were sourced from relevant government and private agencies. Data were analysed using descriptive techniques including frequency counts, tables and graphs. The results revealed an inadequate provision of terminal facilities and vessels in the area. It was also found that most (67.3%) of the trips via water transport in the were mainly for work purpose. In addition, low patronage was observed and it was found to be mostly due to comparatively high cost of fares and passenger safety concerns, as indicated by 67.4% and 58.7% of the respondents respectively. Furthermore, high income earners where found to patronise this mode than low income earners. The high frequency of use of water transport by the respondents (71.3% travel by water every day) indicates that, this mode has great potential of being widely adopted, if greater attention is given to its development by both the government and private sector. There is, therefore, a need for more investment in water transportation in the area through the provision of modern infrastructure and vessels.

Object Of Study

The article analyzes the actual problems of prospects of logistical support of transportation of products. Automobile, railway, aviation and water modes of transport, which function and develop according to different rules and criteria, based on their departmental interests and priorities, were investigated. Conquesting and retaining competitive advantages is relevant for any mode of transport in our country at this stage of economic development. The main directions for strengthening the state transport policy which is necessary to supplement and adjust the actions of market mechanisms in order to ensure the effective, public­interest formation of the state transport system and the transport services market, were formed in this article. A possible solution to the problem is the unification of hundreds of medium-sized and small motor transport companies and freight forwarding companies in one place - a multimodal transport and logistics center with the provision of logistics services. This will attract new investment in the country's transport infrastructure and increase the level of logistics services. The object of study - the process of logistical support for transportation of products. The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems of interaction and competition between different modes of transport in the modern conditions and to identify possible directions for their solution in the transport of goods and passengers in order to ensure stable economic development, satisfaction of the needs of the population and social production. Methods of research - methods of economic, system and comparative analysis. On the basis of the analysis of the interaction of different types of transport, it was discovered that during this time the cardinal transformational processes from the socialist plans to market relations and infrastructure development took place in the state economy. The specificity of activity of different modes of transport is that they not only interact, but also compete with each other in the provision of transport services. There is a big competition at the interstate level for the transit of goods. It is proved that for further growth of grain export, it is necessary not only to improve the logistics of transportation, but also to develop the infrastructure of the country. It would be appropriate to consider at the state level the possibility of prioritizing the transportation of agricultural products by different modes of transport during the peak period and to develop programs to encourage the construction of modern grain storage facilities in port areas and at the borders of Ukraine with neighboring countries. Expected assumptions about the development of the object of study - a logistic approach for sustainable economic development is proposed, conquesting and retaining competitive advantages which will allow to promptly take into account changes of the environment, to respond to the behavior of competitors and consumers, that is, provide for and form demand and supply in the prospective plan. That is why it is necessary to carry out complex measures aimed at transforming any company into a successful commercial enterprise, which will provide high-quality transport services. In general, the strategic goal is to solve three main tasks: to reduce the company's expenses, increase its income and ensure the maximum safety of movement and safekeeping of cargoes during transportation both on the territory of our state and abroad.

Inland Water Transport

The article deals with urgent problems of transport system development in Russia, paying the particular attention to inland waterway transport. The research is focused on the investment in the development of road infrastructure and methods of investing transport projects using public-private partnership mechanisms. The main reasons constraining the development of inland water transport in Russia are the insufficient amount of funds contributed to the development of the industry and their occasionally unreasonable use. In recent years, the world trend is to attract not only owners, but also infrastructure users to finance the inland waterway transport industry at a time when the financing gap is significant. The authors concluded that the simultaneous implementation of measures combining the introduction of fees paid by user and involving the improvement of water transport infrastructure through the public-private partnership mechanisms would promote attracting additional sources of investment. These investments will help to accelerate the industry modernization and implement the innovative scenario for the development of national economy. The authors developed the new model of state policy on attracting extra-budgetary sources of financing to the inland waterway transport industry.

Classification Of Regions

The transport system is an important part of the infrastructure of the Russian Federation, the development of which contributes to economic growth and stability, guarantees the integrity of the state, national security and defense of the country, improves the life of the population, and brings the Russian state closer to the world economic level. The article examines the factors that influence the development of transport infrastructure in the region. Specific regional features and their significance in the development of transport infrastructure are identified, and a classification of regions and transport infrastructures is proposed. The relevance of the research topic is related to the fact that transport infrastructure is directly connected with the life support systems of the region, has a direct impact on the production sectors, and contributes to the effective functioning and development of the production sector. The purpose of the article is to study approaches and factors affecting the development of transport systems in the regions of Russia. Research methods: system, situational approaches, analysis and description of theoretical and methodological factors that determine the prospects for socio-economic development of the region based on the coordination of strategic goals of regional policy with the goals of transport infrastructure development. Results. The article considers different approaches, classifies the transport infrastructure of the region, and identifies specific factors that influence the development of the transport system. The analysis of the transport system of the Krasnodar territory was carried out and strategic directions for its improvement were determined. Conclusions. The results of the analysis have shown that despite the diversification of transport routes in the Krasnodar territory (water, rail transport), a significant share is accounted for by road transport. Digitalization is one of the most relevant and promising areas of development of the transport system. Intelligent systems will allow to provide innovative integrated transport services, depending on the constantly changing needs of the client. To improve the regional transport system, it is necessary to improve the types of road networks and develop a modern regulatory framework for the transport sector
