The practical use of geologistics in the transport sector has a particular importance today. Planning logistics corridors can ensure the efficient operation of transport.The Western region of Ukraine has a high transit potential, complemented by a dense network of highways and railways. This contributes to the functioning of both regional and international logistics flows. In some cases, transport links are limited due to underdeveloped transport infrastructure, which creates problems in the formation of passenger and freight transport. For logists, it remains to determine the most advantageous options for connecting cities and other settlements.The possibility of reducing the distances of transportation of population and goods in the Western region of Ukraine, which is achieved due to the design of routes of logistics flows on the ways of transport in Lviv, Zakarpattya, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil regions, is investigated. The obtained results are shown in the form of economic expediency. In addition, own approaches to improving the quality indicators of infrastructure in the studied areas of transport routes are presented.Key words: hub, populousness, passenger traffic, cost, taxonomic method.
