LRVs of the Sacramento Regional Transit District, commonly referred to as the RT, being prepared for departure on May 9, 1991.

The RT operates a 30.3 mile (48.8 km) light rail system. The first line, Watt/I-80-Downtown-Meadowview, which opened in 1987, was an 18.3 mile (29.5 km) route between the northeast, the downtown core, and the east. The line was mainly built using an existing railroad right-of-way, coupled with use of structures of an abandoned freeway project. A limited amount of the route runs on streets, mainly in downtown Sacramento.
