Sacramento Regional Transit District Awarded $45,096,936 to Purchase new Low-Floor Light Rail Vehicles
Congratulations, Sacramento Regional Transit District, for successfully securing $45,096,936 through the Rail Vehicle Replacement Program administered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to purchase 16 new low-floor light rail vehicles! SacRT was one of only six transit agencies nationwide and the only one in FTA Region 9 to be awarded this grant.
This critical funding will enable SacRT to continue to modernize its fleet and provide improved services and accessibility to its riders. With the addition of these new low-floor trains, SacRT will have a total of 44 new low-floor vehicles, a testament to the District’s commitment to lead the way in sustainable, clean, and equitable public transportation throughout the region.
This latest achievement is another example of SacRT’s mission to be a leader in providing mobility options for the communities it serves.
Once again, congratulations to SacRT and to all who made this major funding achievement possible!
