The events were held as part of the preparation of a private concession initiative, commissioned by Sinara - City Transport Solutions. The work was carried out from November 2020 to May 2021.

The project will help the city get a correct idea of ​ ​ the prospects for the development of transport demand in Taganrog and find possible options for the development of transport infrastructure for the sustainable development of the city and meeting growing demand. These will make Taganrog more convenient and more comfortable, which will affect the economic and tourist attractiveness of the city.

The city administration headed for the development of Taganrog as the tourist center of the Rostov region. In addition, the city has great industrial potential. The progressive development of the city is impossible without a high-quality and coherent transport system, which is why we consider the project of reconstruction of the city tram network important and timely. During the work, not only tram lines will be modernized, but also a major overhaul of the tram depot, traction substations and a control center will be carried out. As of September 2021, the first phase of the project has already been implemented and we accept the first passengers, "said Yevgeny Vasiliev, General Director of Sinara - City Transport Solutions.

In preparing options for the development and prioritization of the public passenger transport system, emphasis was placed on the comprehensive reconstruction of tram lines as the basis of the transport system. In addition, for the period until 2035, a number of measures have been proposed for the construction and reconstruction of transport infrastructure facilities and the development of the road network. Including the reconstruction and construction of overpasses, the allocation of lanes for public transport, the creation of pedestrian zones, cycle paths and much more.

High-quality transport planning documents prepared by our team will help the city administration prioritize its work, rationally use the budget, develop tourism, invite investors or reasonably seek financial assistance at the regional or federal level. If we talk about the tram, as of September 2021 in Taganrog there is a stable passenger flow for this type of transport. If the tram network is implemented taking into account our recommendations, then the city will be able to improve transport communication between all areas, as well as ensure the quick, convenient and safe movement of passengers, "said Konstantin Tikhonov, Deputy General Director of SIMETRA.
