Light Rail Modernization Project
SacRT’s light rail system first opened in 1987 and is now aging, with train cars reaching the end of their useful life and stations in need of upgrades. This modernization project will improve accessibility and reliability for all riders. Historically, ADA access was limited to the front train car, requiring most passengers to climb stairs to board. The modernization will allow boarding from any car for riders of all abilities.
Progress so far: All stations along the Gold Line have been modified to support two-car low-floor trains, and in 2026, additional work will begin to prepare for future three-car train operations on the Gold Line. On the Blue Line, four stations have been completed, and the remaining fifteen stations are scheduled for upgrades.
Safety Reminder
Many station platforms have been raised eight inches to meet the height requirements of the new low-floor trains. Riders are reminded to watch their step when traveling through stations and to cross at the ends of platforms rather than in the middle for safety.
Thank you for your patience as we work to make the system more accessible, reliable, and ready for the future.
