Abstract

The problem of the negative impact of human activity on the environment has recently gained considerable popularity, particularly in the transport industry, which is rapidly developing in the context of economic development. Therefore, the study of current trends in the development of transport infrastructure in terms of compliance with the goals of the green economy is timely and relevant. The research aims to determine the peculiarities of the Ukrainian transport industry based on compliance with the criteria of green infrastructure efficiency. We performed the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and deducted graphs to determine the structure of the transport system and formulate criteria for green economy development. Quantitative, comparative, and trend analysis were used with the determination of probability based on forecasting for analysis of fossil fuels use and transport volume. The structure of the transport system, which includes transport for various purposes, routes and institutions that ensure its functioning, was determined. Based on the structure analysis, we proved the need for an integrated approach to assessing the environmental impact of the transport industry. We proposed to use the criteria for the effectiveness of green infrastructure. We analysed fuel use, freight and passenger traffic dynamics in recent years and identified trends based on trend lines. We identified the negative impact of the transport industry on the environment due to the growth in fuel consumption and the increase in freight and passenger traffic by road. The study proposes a list of organisational and managerial steps to reduce the negative impact of the transport industry on the country's environment.
