The topic of digitalization of public administration is particularly important in the context of combating corruption in key sectors, including transport. In Kazakhstan, despite advances in e-government development, the perception of corruption in the transport sector remains high, highlighting the relevance of studying digital mechanisms. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of digital solutions on reducing corruption risks in Kazakhstan’s transport sector and to identify the legal mechanisms necessary to enhance the anti-corruption effect. The scientific significance lies in the comprehensive approach to analyzing digitalization as an element of anti-corruption policy, while the practical significance lies in the potential use of the findings to optimize digital reforms. It has been established that the introduction of electronic document management, automated control systems, and digital monitoring has a positive impact on reducing petty corruption. However, challenges remain in the legal framework for new technologies, technical and personnel resources, and interdepartmental coordination. The study’s value lies in identifying legal barriers and formulating proposals, including the initiative to develop a Digital Code and specialized regulations aimed at strengthening the anti-corruption infrastructure. The practical significance lies in the applicability of the results to improving public policy, creating an effective digital environment, and increasing transparency in Kazakhstan’s transport sector.
