The level of transport infrastructure development directly affects the rate of economic growth. In 2018, in Russia, 67.1 % of the total volume of transported goods were delivered by road transport. However, we cannot talk about the full realization of the road transportation system since 57.6 % of public roads do not meet regulatory requirements. The available statistics indicate that, first of all, attention should be paid to the condition of the roads. The article analyzes the system for road maintenance in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, considers the main regulatory documents governing the activities of road work suppliers and executive authorities in the field of road maintenance. The article examines and analyzes the advanced foreign experience in the field of technologies for servicing roads in the winter. As the result of analysis, the authors propose introducing performance-based contracts into the field of the road sector. The creation of an economically feasible form of performance-based contracts can lead to a decrease in the cost of road maintenance by 10-40 %.

The efficiency of public administration is one of the decisive factors for the successful development of the country, all spheres of activity in the state. The same applies to the successful development of physical culture and sports. The main focus of the development of public administration itself is now on the programme-oriented method of governance, which, however, is often too cumbersome and resource-intensive. The authors propose to use the mechanism of project management in the fields of physical culture and sports and provide evidence of its greater importance to improve management efficiency. To achieve this goal, the paper presents a SWOT analysis of the existing model of state management of physical culture and sports in the Russian Federation, analyzes the theoretical aspects of project activities, and substantiates the positive aspects of the implementation of project management mechanisms in the activities of the Ministry of sports of the Russian Federation.
