Abstract: The positive effects of transport infrastructure development in the country can be seen in the increase of factor productivity, as well as economic and regional growth. A separate channel of influence of improved infrastructure on the economy is the intensification of foreign trade activities of enterprises by reducing the costs of inclusion in national and international value chains. The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 204 dated May 7, 2018, singles out the improvement of the transport infrastructure as one of the priority areas of the country's social and economic development. Thus, the study of the impact of infrastructural changes on the foreign trade activities of Russian firms is of particular relevance. This study allows us to assess how the development of in-country transport infrastructure affects regional access to markets. Based on the assessment of the empirical model presented in this paper, we can conclude that a more developed infrastructure of the regions has a positive impact on the value of export flows, and no significant differentiation in the change in regional exports due to the impact of infrastructure improvement in the regions in the period of 2012-2016 was found.
