Summary/Abstract: The post-reform period of development of the railway passenger complex was marked by a significant number of crises that led to aggravation of the transport situation in a number of Russian Federation entities. This article is devoted to the problems of regional analysis of the level of suburban service development; it outlines the main trends in management of the local railway transport. The main development indicators have been identified; the grading of Russian regions in these terms has been traced; two key models of regional policy in the sphere of railway suburban service to the population have been defined.
