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, 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.
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.
Note: former stations are highlighted in gray. The 7th & K platform of the St. Rose of Lima Park station closed permanently as of September 30, 2016.
