In the near future, the rail fleet will be again be modernized, the rehabilitation of the Combino tramcars having already been completed.
 In addition, twelve new three-car Combino trainsets were purchased.
 Furthermore, the route network will also be modernized.
This will be done in the context of road rehabilitation in the relevant areas such as done with the recent 2008–2009 work in the Gotha court.
In addition, the outer regions of the network do not have electronic destination displays at all stops yet.

Additional new lines are not planned – the land-use plan for the city of Erfurt contains only a new extension from P+R Platz Messe to Schmira, which was originally included in the rail-building program, but which has not yet been realized.
There are no concrete plans to build that extension currently.
A new network plan is not expected until 2017, since the current alignments of light rail are approved until 31 March 2017.

It has been recommended in the coming years that 10-minute headways be extended to 18:30 at night on some sections of the network.
