The article deals with problematic issues of ensuring the effective functioning of transport infrastructure in modern conditions, when the amount of universal threats from terrorism and other factors constantly increases. The definition of "facility security” is formulated, since "transport security", being considered in the narrow sense, includes only the protection of transport infrastructure facilities from terrorist crimes and does not cover other illegal actions that can have a negative impact on the security of transport system in Russia. Profound study of the issues of legal regulation of ensuring the security of transport infrastructure facilities in various aspects leads the authors to reasonable conclusion about their obvious gaps and, in part, conflict of laws, which determines the need to resolve these problems of positive law in Russia. The need to improve the anti-terrorist protection of railway transport facilities by establishing the priority of interdepartmental integrated approach is stipulated and particular measures to mitigate the terrorist threat are suggested.
