The article examines the problems of the application of the social responsibility of the transport company in the activities and the use of the technological development option as one of the tools for ensuring the competitiveness of transport companies. The structural analysis of social responsibility determines the components of social responsibility of the transport company and the factors determining technological development, such as the relationship between social responsibility and technological development. On the basis of a literature analysis, an expert evaluation questionnaire has been developed and prepared. An expert evaluation questionnaire shall be established. After processing the data of the expert survey, the criteria are arranged and the results of the study are presented.
