The Blue Line on Sacramento's light rail system was extended 4.3 miles south to Cosumnes River College in August 2015 with a total cost of US$270 million. Four new stations were added with the entire system now running for 69 kilometres.
Services run every 15 minutes on weekdays and every half hour on weekends, with a total journey time of 33 minutes from the end of the line to the downtown area.

The system commenced operations in 1987 and has been progressively extended with higher ridership as a result. From 1870 to 1947, Sacramento also had a streetcar system that included multiple routes in the inner city areas and a terminus in Oak Park - this was the location of an amusement park that was very popular at the time until it's destruction by fire in 1920.
