How to take light rail

Plan your trip

Select a station through the map above for access and parking information on individual stations.

Riding light rail

Before you board the light rail, you need to buy a ticket or pass from a Sacramento RT Light Rail ticket machine (located at every station). Light rail is a proof of payment system. Riders must have a valid or pass while onboard the light rail.

On the platform, board the train that goes to your station. The headsign on the vehicle will show the destination, not line color. The train destination is announced at stations served by two lines. As the train comes to a stop, press a button adjacent to the doors to open them.

On the train, announcements will be made for the next station. Press a button near the door way to open them.

Bicycles

Bicycles can be taken aboard the light rail at all hours on all cars with no additional fare. To ride on the light rail with a bike:

  • Board the train through the rear door of the first car, and the front and rear doors of the 2nd and 3rd car
  • Place the bike in the flop up seating area
  • Bike hooks are available on newer cars

RT permits 4 bikes per car, except the front portion of the front car where it is reserved for people with disabilities.

Selected light rail stations offers bicycle racks and lockers.

Passengers needing level boarding access (wheelchairs, walker, and baby strollers) should wait on top of the wheelchair ramp on every platform (except at 12th & I Station in the southbound direction).
