Sacramento Regional Transit District (Sacramento RT):
7th & Capitol (southbound) and 8th & Capitol (northbound) is a split light rail station on the Sacramento Regional Transit District's Blue and Gold Lines. It is located in Downtown Sacramento at the intersection of Capitol Mall and 7th Street (south platform) and 8th Street (north platform) and within walking distance of the California State Capitol, Tower Bridge, and Golden 1 Center.
This is a primary light rail station for the Golden 1 Center, home of the NBA's Sacramento Kings and other events. The previous station, St. Rose of Lima Park, was closed in 2016 to improve traffic and pedestrian flow for 7th Street. The station recently underwent upgrades in 2016 to accommodate for the increased ridership from the arena, and has improved safety, security, sign, communication, and lighting fixtures.
