The transport network plays a significant role in the development of regions, as it is
one of the main parts of both industrial and social life. Both for the balanced development of
the regions as a whole and for the development of the transport network, an integrated approach is necessary, taking into account various risks. The article discusses the risks of developing the transport industry in the regions, the possibility of reducing threats to strengthen
inter-regional cooperation in order to create an optimal, combined economic space. The article
substantiates the need to take into account the risk when drawing up a strategy for regional
development of the transport system. The author identifies the risks of spatial development of
the transport industry that limit the development of regions, i.e. adverse events that can hinder
the development of regions on a national scale. The object of research is the development of
the transport network of regions, the subject of research is the risks that slow down the development of the transport network of regions. In the course of the research, general scientific
methods of cognition, the method of theoretical comparison, system-structural analysis, and
the method of theoretical research were used. As a result, the characteristic risks that hinder
the development of the transport industry in the regions are identified, and the causes of
threats that need to be addressed when developing a strategy for the development of the
transport network to minimize adverse situations in the Russian regions are identified.
