Current map of the existing light rail network in the Sacramento Regional Transit District

The

10th-largest light rail system in the United States in terms of ridership.[4][5][6]

The stations along the network are open-air structures featuring passenger

metalwork and murals. Each was commissioned to incorporate an identity and sense of place unique to the neighborhood surrounding the station.[7]

Light rail service began on March 12, 1987, with the opening of 13 stations between

Morrison Creek, opened in August 2021.[17]

Still in the conceptual phase of development, the Green Line will add approximately 13 miles (21 km) of track in connecting Downtown Sacramento with the Sacramento International Airport.[18]
