Elk Grove Light Rail Implementation Plan

planned

The Elk Grove City Council accepted an implementation plan for bringing light rail to the city, aiming to reduce traffic congestion, lower household transportation costs, spur economic development, increase accessibility, and prioritize underserved communities. The plan includes proposed stations along Bruceville Road, Big Horn Boulevard, Bilby Road, and integration into the city's livable employment area community plan with a streetcar-style design. Construction is expected to occur in phases, starting with stations at Big Horn Boulevard and Bruceville Road or reaching District56. The project is a partnership between the city of Elk Grove and Sacramento Regional Transit, funded by Caltrans, with potential funding from federal, state, and local sources.
