ENSince launching construction in January 2023, SacRT has made major progress on station platform modifications to prepare for our new low-floor light rail trains.
- Gold Line: All stations along the Gold Line have been modified to support two-car low-floor train service. In 2026, additional construction will begin to modify 22 Gold Line stations to support future three-car train operations.
- Blue Line: SacRT has completed construction at 4 Blue Line stations. The remaining 15 Blue Line stations are scheduled for platform modification work beginning in 2026. Once all platform upgrades are complete, SacRT will be able to launch low-floor train service on the Blue Line.
We are currently finalizing details for the next phase of construction, which includes upgrades to the remaining Blue Line stations and select Gold Line stations. Construction is anticipated to resume in early 2026.
Thank you for your patience as we modernize the light rail system to make it more accessible, reliable, and ready for the future.
Rider Reminder! Riders are reminded to watch their step when traveling in Gold and Blue Line stations as the platform areas have been raised eight inches to meet the height requirement of the new low-floor light rail trains. For safety reasons riders are urged to cross the stations at the ends of each platform and not in the middle of the station to avoid the raised curb.
Note: The Arden/Del Paso Station park-and-ride lot is currently closed through the end of the year, however there is still train and bus service at the station.

Blue Line Riders Reminder:
SacRT will continue to operate the high-floor trains on the Blue Line. The transition to low-floor vehicles on this line is anticipated in 2027, once the station platform construction is completed and additional light rail vehicles are purchased.
