Green Line Type 10 Vehicles

Interior of a Type 10 light rail vehicle with two rows of green seats facing each other. A digital sign near the left wall shows information about transit connections at the next subway stop.

We're designing and building 102 new light rail vehicles for the Green Line. Type 10 vehicles will be safer, more accessible, and have upgraded technology for riders to get live information about their trip.

The first Type 10 vehicles are expected to go into service in 2027. We expect all 102 vehicles to be delivered by the end of 2031.

  • Contract awarded: 2022
  • Projected design completion: 2026
  • All vehicles delivered: 2031
  • Budget: $810 million
  • Status: 75% design
