The level of development of the logistics infrastructure has a significant impact on the socio-economic development of the region, its investment attractiveness, integration into a single economic and transport space of the country and the world. In addition, the importance of regional infrastructure as one of the indicators of the country's innovative path of development is also emphasized in the fundamental concepts and strategies of the Russian Federation. A significant part of the available methods for assessing the level of development of the logistics infrastructure is based on an expert survey, which implies some subjectivity, or taking into account only the activities of transport. In this work, the author proposes an algorithm for calculating the integral indicator, which makes it possible to assess the efficiency of the functioning of the regional logistics infrastructure, taking into account its main and supporting component. The algorithm includes the following stages. Initially, key indicators are determined that characterize the activities of the main and supporting component of the macro-logistics infrastructure of the region within the framework of the infrastructure management system of the constituent entity of the country. After that, they are assessed to identify redundant variables and group them into indices. At the second stage, the internal consistency of the indices is assessed using the a-Cronbach coefficient. At the last stage, an integral indicator is calculated that characterizes the development of the macro-logistics infrastructure of the region. In addition, the proposed algorithm makes it possible to identify an imbalance in the development of certain types of transport, regional sub-sorting warehouses, as well as financial and information activities.
