This study is aimed at identifying the most effective measures to improve the environmental safety of transport in the city of St. Petersburg, taking into account foreign and domestic practices, the opinion of residents of the city, as well as the expert opinion and experience of employees of the transport enterprise, which carries out a significant share of urban passenger transportation. The problem of the negative impact of land transport on the environment is urgent and acute, especially in cities with a high population, level of motorization, density of roads, to which St. Petersburg belongs. As a result of the analysis of foreign and domestic experience in solving environmental problems in transport, best practices were identified, which turned out to be effective in solving environmental problems. A study of the opinion of the population of the city of St. Petersburg showed that not all identified measures and innovations are equally supported by the population and can be implemented with the same efficiency. Various financial incentives are also needed to increase public participation in environmental initiatives and policies. At the same time, the opinion of the population partially coincides with the opinion of experts who have more detailed information and take into account such factors as the limited availability of resources, the cost of implementation, the experience gained in implementation in domestic conditions. In addition, the cost and expected effects of implementing activities were determined. As a result of the integrated assessment, the most appropriate activities were identified, including both traditional and innovative solutions. The proposed set of measures, as well as the logic of the study, can be used in planning to improve the environmental safety of transport and other megacities of the Russian Federation, which determines the practical significance of the study results.
