The project is included in the Unified Project Portfolio and is in line with the local program for the development of electric transport in Odesa, as well as the city's strategic documents on the modernization of transport infrastructure.

The overhaul of the track involves the renewal of rails, sleepers, contact network and other elements of the tramway. The reconstruction is expected to significantly improve traffic safety.

At the beginning of the year, Odesa planned to allocate more than UAH 500 million from the city budget for the maintenance of the Odesmiskelektrotrans (OMET) utility in 2025. The bulk of these funds were to be used to pay salaries to employees and to pay for electricity to run electric vehicles.
