Abstract:
The article substantiates the theoretical and methodological foundations of managing urban transport enterprises in the context of digital transformation and the implementation of sustainable development principles. The article also systematizes the methodological approaches, principles, methods, and tools that form the basis of a modern management system for enterprises in the sector. The specific nature of urban transport as a socially significant sphere of economic activity is identified, with its functioning characterized by the need to simultaneously ensure economic efficiency, financial sustainability, accessibility and quality of transport services, transport safety, environmental responsibility, and the satisfaction of the population’s urban mobility needs. It is substantiated that the multidimensional nature of these objectives limits the applicability of exclusively traditional market-based management approaches and necessitates the development of integrated methodological support for management. A conceptual framework for the methodological support of urban transport enterprise management is proposed as an interconnected system of methodological approaches, principles, methods, criteria, indicators, and information and analytical tools aimed at substantiating and supporting managerial decision-making. General management principles and sector-specific management principles are systematized. It is found that their combination provides a methodological basis for taking into account the dual – economic and social – nature of the performance of urban transport enterprises. The role of digital transformation in the information and analytical support of the proposed management system is substantiated. The functional modules of the information and analytical system are identified, including the collection and consolidation of primary data, data quality control, indicator normalization, calculation of partial and aggregate integrated indices, deviation monitoring, visualization of results, and preparation of management reports. It is identified that combining an integrated system of indicators with digital technologies for data processing and monitoring creates the prerequisites for improving the timeliness, validity, and adaptability of managerial decision-making. At the same time, the incorporation of social and environmental priorities ensures the alignment of the economic performance of urban transport enterprises with the objectives of sustainable development of the urban transport system.

Keywords: methodological support; enterprise management; urban transport; digital transformation; sustainable development; integrated system of indicators; Balanced Scorecard; management efficiency; information and analytical support; managerial decision-making.
