Under the timeline unveiled Monday, the design process will then stretch from mid-2022 into 2026, when the T plans to begin piloting its first supercars. According to Pena’s presentation, the agency plans to begin rolling out the cars into service from 2027 through 2032.
According to Peña, the MBTA plans to seek a Federal Transit Administration grant to fund the project. MBTA previously estimated that the supercars would cost $1.34 billion, according to the Globe.
