On the study basis the authors found the presence of a gap in the research area of a risk management of urban transportation systems. There is relatively small amount of publications on risk analysis for the urban transportation systems. At the same time, the results already described concern the issues associated with the safety of infrastructure and the accidents. In the published results of researches conducted in Poland and around the world there is a lack of an interdisciplinary approach to risk management in urban transportation systems, in accordance with the holistic approach of ISO 31000. Therefore, it seems important to carry out interdisciplinary research related to the identification of risk factors present in the systems of urban transportation, including technical, economic and social aspects. Special importance has also the assessment of sensitivity of transport processes on the occurrence of defined risk factors and their impact on quality of inhabitants life. The main aim of the article is to present the assumptions currently initiated by the authors for the creation of an interdisciplinary model of operational risk management system for the urban transportation system including buses and trams, which improves the reliability and life quality of inhabitants.
