Ulyanovsk urban motor-vehicle transport in 1986–1990

We set the goal to study the development of passenger and freight motor-vehicle transport, the effectiveness of which ensures the continuous operation of large and small industrial enterprises, as well as the urban trading network and the services sector. We analyze the problem on the basis of archival sources drawn from the funds of the State Archive of Contemporary History of the Ulyanovsk Region (SACH UR) and the State Archive of the Ulyanovsk Region (SAUR), which are first put into scientific circulation, as well as materials from a monograph and dissertation research by authors from both regional and Russian level. In the course of the work, we reveal the trends in the development of passenger and freight motor-vehicle transport, its problems and achievements. We consider the measures taken by local party bodies to increase the functioning efficiency of motor-vehicle transport during the twelfth Five-year plan, the development trends of urban transport, as well as its problems and achievements. As a result of the study, we conclude that passenger transport is an important link in the urban economy system, without which the existence of the city as a whole would not have been possible, and its development peak occurred precisely in the years under consideration (1986–1990) when intensive construction of industrial facilities and housing was carried out in the city. The intensive development of urban transport was also associated, with the labor of rationalizers who developed new projects of innovative technologies introduction, which made it possible to increase labor efficiency.
