On June 10, 2024, the SacRT Board of Directors approved modifications to bus and light rail service changes for 2024 which were previously approved. The original plan was approved on March 11, 2024, but several improvements needed to be cancelled due to lack of funding.

Service improvements previously approved for Routes 1, 26, 51, 81, 84, and 93 and weekend improvements to the Gold Line would be rescinded and not implemented.

View the Revised Plan

Changes include:

• Implementing 15-minute service frequency on the Gold Line between Sunrise and Historic Folsom light rail stations during weekdays.
• Adding weekend and holiday service on Folsom bus route 10 and implementing minor service reductions to certain bus stops.
• Adding trips on bus route 137 (Elk Grove/UC Davis Medical Center Express)
• An additional hour of evening service on bus route 33 (Dos Rios)
• Discontinuing Folsom bus route 30 due to low ridership (as an alternative, customers can access SmaRT Ride service)

Most changes will take effect on August 18, 2024. Route 137 changes took effect on Monday, April 8, 2024. The start date for Gold Line improvements depends on completion of construction and other supporting projects.
