Interrelation of levels of development of innovation potential and transport ecosystem of regions

The article analyzes the impact of innovative approaches to formation transport infrastructure on level development innovation potential regions, specifies stages regional systems, systematizes approach ranking Russian indices (RRII) by thematic sub-indices for pre-pandemic period 2019 - 2020. author notes that there is no consensus among domestic scientists about directions significance a functioning and developing system region’s economy ecosystem. On one hand, innovations in sphere influence dynamics income growth due reduction costs logistics system, increase speed volume passenger freight traffic, investment attractiveness region, diffusion labor productivity. However, accompanying agglomerations leads increased density traffic flows, environmental problems aggravation safety issues. In this connection introduction transport, solved within programs increasing ecosystem qualitatively new potential, have high degree socio-economic systems. Thus, innovation, including sector, can be considered an indispensable condition
