The problem of ensuring the safety of transportation activities is considered. The main components of the safety of transport activities in the context of management decisions are formulated. The causes of transport and environmental risks in relation to the stages of the vehicle life cycle are determined. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of traffic accidents caused by truck drivers, the theoretical dependence of the distribution of the random magnitude of accidents is determined. The influence of environmental factors on the mechanism of ensuring safety in the provision of transport services is considered. A model of the process of searching for an optimal management solution is presented, taking into account a limited number of criteria. It is recommended that the criteria include the probability of security risks depending on the source of the risk. The directions of improving the management decision-making system through the introduction of digitalization tools are formulated.
