The object of the research: how the development of theoretical propositions and developing scientific guidelines for the formation of organizational and economic mechanisms to ensure sustainable development of urban electric transport. Object of research: the process of sustainable development of urban electric transport. Subject of research: theoretical and methodological and applied aspects of organizational and economic mechanisms to ensure sustainable development of urban electric transport. Methods: Analysis, synthesis, abstraction, historical, logical analysis and synthesis, comparison, graphical, method of transition from the abstract to the concrete, the combination of system and process approaches taxonomic method. Improved: classification features of municipal electric companies by organizing existing and introduction of additional classifications: development phases and the nature of homeostasis; Concepts and categories of the theory of sustainable development of enterprises, including: the concepts of "enterprise development" as inherent conditions of its existence, which is implemented through a focused continuous movement in space and time and is expressed as a regular process of irreversible change; "sustainable development of urban electric transport" as purposeful controlled process of their movement, characterized by the ability to maintain internal state parameters within safe limits for businesses, as well as meet environmental and social requirements; Methodical approach to evaluating the development of urban electric transport, which involves the use of taxonomic analysis on developed a comprehensive system of indicators for selected areas of evaluation; The concept of the control component of organizational and economic mechanisms to ensure sustainable development of urban electric transport on the basis of the essence, a two-tier structure of its organizational subsystem (on levels of business and government), the rationale of its functions, composition, internal and external relationships.Has evolved: Methodical tools assess the stability of both the characteristics of the enterprise, based on the definition of criteria limits indicators of stability for selected areas of evaluation; Tools to ensure sustainable development of urban electric transport on the technical, financial, social and environmental areas using motivational approach to reconciling the interests of electric transport companies, consumers and municipal governments; - Conceptual foundations of organizational and economic mechanisms to ensure sustainable development of enterprises MET, which is to determine its essence and detail goals, objectives, principles, object-subject structure and functional content. Developments implemented: in practice ME "Elektroavtotrans" city of Sumy, ME "Konotop Streetcar" CE "Saltovskoe tram depot," CP "October tram depot," CP "Kharkiv Wagon Factory" LKP "Lvivelektrotrans" CE "Dnepropetrovsk electrotransport" and educational prtsos Kharkiv National University of Construction and Architecture in teaching courses on "Management", "Business Strategy", "strategic management", "Potential and Development Enterprise", "Enterprise Management potential," "Justification economic decisions and risk assessment" . Scope: sustainable development of urban electric transport.
