ENSACRAMENTO, CA – The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) is notifying riders and the community of scheduled Blue Line service disruptions throughout April 2026 as part of the ongoing Light Rail Modernization Project. This multi‑year effort includes raising platforms to accommodate SacRT’s new low‑floor light rail trains and represents the largest capital project in the agency’s 53‑year history. Construction efforts on the Blue Line will be in place in various areas through 2027.
During construction periods, bus bridges (shuttle buses) will operate between impacted stations to support Blue Line travel. Riders are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

SacRT appreciates riders’ patience as we work to modernize the Blue Line for the future. The platform improvements are essential to introducing the agency’s new low-floor trains and enhancing accessibility, reliability, and system capacity.
Between now and 2027, SacRT will be modifying 15 Blue Line stations from Watt/I-80 to Meadowview stations and 8th & O Station in downtown Sacramento.
SacRT previously completed platform modifications at four Blue Line stations including Roseville Road, Swanston, Globe, Alkali Flat/La Valentina stations and the Blue Line south extension from Morrison Creek to Cosumnes River College have updated platforms to meet the new train height requirements.
Important Note: The construction schedule can shift for a variety of reasons including weather. Riders are urged to check the SacRT website for the latest construction schedule.
