The Green Line is a light rail transit line in the Sacramento Regional Transit District (RT) light rail system. It opened on June 15, 2012,[1] and runs from the 13th Street Station to the 7th and Richards/Township 9 Station. The Green Line runs through north downtown to Township 9, Natomas, and is projected eventually to reach Sacramento International Airport. Service is currently provided on Mondays to Fridays only.[2]
History
In 2016, low ridership on the Green Line and the lack of development at Township 9 led the Sacramento RT Board to consider closing the line in 2017.[3]
