Introduction. This article examines public law approaches to the legal status and activities of state-owned corporate entities in the transport sector as subjects of transport legal relations and entities governed by transport regulations.

Results. When analyzing the norms of power-control, planning and strategic, corporate regulation of the activities of state corporate entities in the field of transport, it is noted that they are commercial and non-profit organizations of industry management of state property, implementing planned and targeted entrepreneurial activities on behalf of the state within the framework of state programs for the development of transport infrastructure, digitalization programs and special legal capacity.
