The '''transport network of the [[Russian Federation]]''' is one of the world's most extensive transport networks. The national web of roads, railways and [[Airway (aviation)|airways]] stretches almost {{convert|7700|km|abbr=on}} from [[Kaliningrad]] in the west to the [[Kamchatka Peninsula]] in the east, and major cities such as [[Moscow]] and [[Saint Petersburg]] are served by extensive [[rapid transit]] systems.

Russia has adopted two national transport strategies in recent years. On 12 May 2005, the Russian [[Ministry of Transport (Russia)|Ministry of Transport]] adopted the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation to 2020. Three years later, on 22 November 2008, the Russian government adopted a revised strategy, extending to 2030.

The export of transport services is an important component of Russia's [[gross domestic product|GDP]]. The government anticipates that between 2007 and 2030, the measures included in its 2008 transport strategy will increase the export of transport services to a total value of $80 billion, a sevenfold increase on its 2008 value. Foreign cargo weight transported is expected to increase from 28 million tonnes to 100 million tonnes over the same period.
