The Downtown / Riverfront Streetcar is a planned 3.3-mile (5.3 km) streetcar line intended to connect West Sacramento to Sacramento's downtown business districts and the greater transportation network.
The project is being undertaken by a consortium including the City of Sacramento, the City of West Sacramento, the Yolo County Transportation District, and the Sacramento Regional Transit District. While distinct from the RT Light Rail system, it will share some right-of-way and assets with that system; RT will likely also operate the line.[1]
Funding
The project received $50 million from the federal government for construction in May 2017.[2] By June 2017, $200 million in local, state, and federal grants had been secured to build the streetcar line. A special district that includes businesses close to the streetcar agreed to a tax to offset operating costs; it is expected to generate $50 million over 25 years.[3]
