MOSCOW, July 1 Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Roman Starovoit distributed responsibilities among his new deputies, he wrote in his Telegram channel.
Starovoit was appointed Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation in May 2024. In June, he told reporters that the Ministry of Transport team was efficient and there would be no major changes in it, but there would be some fine-tuning. Thus, at the end of June several new deputy ministers and first deputy ministers were appointed.
“From today, I have determined the distribution of responsibilities between my new deputies, appointed by order of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation,” Starovoit said on Monday.
In particular, the responsibilities of Valentin Ivanov, appointed to the post of First Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, will primarily include coordination of work on the construction and repair of transport infrastructure facilities, as well as on the development of state policy and legal regulation in the field of automobile, off-street, urban surface electric transport, including the metro.
In addition, Ivanov will oversee the department of strategic development and the department of state policy in the field of arrangement of checkpoints across the state border.
Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Alexey Shilo will be responsible for the development of the railway complex. Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Viktor Timofeev will deal with topics related to road infrastructure and interaction with the regions.
Deputy Minister of Transport Konstantin Pashkov will coordinate the work of the Ministry of Transport on the implementation of state policy in the field of transport education and youth policy and in the field of the Russian civil service.
“These changes in the structure of the ministry will not require additional expenditures from the federal budget. In general, I want to emphasize that each of the appointed deputy ministers of transport has significant professional experience in these areas of activity, accumulated in their previous places of work,” notes Starovoit.
