Sacramento Valley Station Relocation Project
Project Overview
The Sacramento Valley Station (SVS) Relocation Project will relocate and reconstruct the existing SacRT light rail station and associated track, power, and signal infrastructure into a new north-south configuration along the Gold Line. This critical investment supports the City of Sacramento’s vision for the next phase of Sacramento Valley Station improvements while advancing regional mobility, connectivity, and economic development goals.
The City of Sacramento and SacRT have partnered for more than two decades to implement the Sacramento Valley Station Master Plan. As part of SVS Phase 3.1, the City is pursuing up to $32.5 million in SCCP Cycle 5 funding to support relocation of the existing light rail station and related infrastructure. The project has already secured approximately $31 million in committed state funding.
The proposed improvements would realign the light rail system from the vicinity of 5th and H Streets, north along the eastern edge of the station site, and east along F Street to 7th Street. The relocation will be coordinated with other Phase 3.1 improvements, including stormwater and sewer infrastructure upgrades, a new passenger pick-up and drop-off facility, and related site enhancements.
The project represents a key component of the region’s multimodal transportation network, improving connections between light rail, regional bus service, intercity and passenger rail, active transportation facilities, and future development within the Railyards and surrounding districts. The new track configuration will also provide greater operational flexibility and support future transit expansion opportunities.
SacRT’s Gold and Green Lines serve the rapidly growing Railyards and River District neighborhoods and are envisioned to support future regional connections, including potential service to Sacramento International Airport. In the near term, the project will enhance access to Sacramento Valley Station, strengthen connections to regional transit services, support new residential and commercial development, and improve access to the future soccer stadium district.
Environmental review for the project will be led by the City of Sacramento as part of project development and delivery. Any required environmental documentation will be prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
