Sacramento Regional Transit Real Estate and Permits
The Real Estate Department administers a district-wide program for right-of-way acquisition, asset management, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and joint development related projects in support of SacRT's mission, vision and values by: Acquiring sites for transit facilities and support activities, responsibly managing SacRT's property, disposing of property no longer needed for operational purposes, and providing community value and improving the passenger experience through station activation, joint development and TOD activities.
Asset Management and Permits
Asset Management functions include: Property management of SacRT's property and light rail right of way; generation and collection of income through the issuance of: Right of Entries, Permits, Leases and Licenses, for uses such as, rail crossings, utility installations, fiber optics and other secondary uses; as well as, disposition sale of excess and surplus property.
If you would like to perform work on or through SacRT parcels, or in SacRT’s rail right of way, or need an easement or license agreement with SacRT: please email an application to permits@sacrt.com
Completion of On-Track Safety Training will be a prerequisite to perform work in the proximity of the tracks. To avoid delays in work, Contractor is advised to have all workers that may be performing work complete this training at the earliest opportunity. The training is good for two years. To schedule this training, email on-tracksafetytraining@sacrt.com
Depending on the location of the work and whether a new legal agreement (right of entry, license, easement, etc.) is required, the applicant may be required to provide insurance naming SacRT and other entities as additional insureds. Even if insurance is not required as a condition of work, the applicant is advised to obtain insurance as a means of protecting itself from claims arising from the work. In particular, a Railroad Protective liability policy or endorsement would provide any coverage for construction or demolition work occurring within 50 feet of railroad tracks or equipment. See below link for SacRT’s standard insurance recommendations. The actual required limits may vary but these provide a starting point for engaging a broker in conversation about current coverage and any adjustments that may be needed.

Transit Oriented Development
TOD is urban or suburban development that is located close to frequent, high-capacity transit such as light rail or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). It is specifically designed to create walkable, mixed-use environments that support a greater density of people. By integrating housing, employment, and other activity centers with high-quality transit, TOD encourages people to utilize public transit for trips that would otherwise be taken in an automobile. TOD benefits to the local community and the region include improved health and active lifestyles; increased access and connectivity to jobs, school, entertainment and retail opportunities; increased economic benefits and investment; reduction in vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions; and options for more affordable and diverse housing. (Please see TOD Guidelines)
Joint development is a strategic partnership between the public and private sectors to maximize the utility and value of the transit system and surrounding real estate, and benefits of both to the community (following Federal Transit Administration rules). SacRT is currently considering joint development of the following sites:
Florin Station Joint Development
Acquisition
The department is also responsible for purchasing the property rights necessary for constructing and maintaining SacRT's transportation system. Functions are comprised of: Appraisal, environmental site assessments, relocation assistance, acquisition and leases. Current expansion projects are the: Dos Rios Station, Light Rail Modernization Project, Folsom 15-Minute Service, the Green Line, and Blue Line Extension to Elk Grove.
