Here are key takeaways:
- The station sits on North 12th Street between Richards Boulevard and Sunbeam Avenue in downtown Sacramento’s River District, roughly a block from a mixed-income community built as part of the Twin Rivers public housing redevelopment.
- Blue Line trains will serve Dos Rios seven days a week, arriving about every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes off-peak. The stop is located between the Globe and Alkali Flat/La Valentina stations.
- The $42.8 million project was completed on budget and four months ahead of schedule, funded through a mix of state and federal dollars with support from Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento.
- RT General Manager/CEO Henry Li said the new station “expands access to reliable public transportation while supporting the continued growth and revitalization of the River District.”
- Bus Route 33 will be discontinued because it duplicates the new light rail service. It will run for two more weeks before being replaced in early October by Route 133, which offers one morning trip Monday through Friday. With Dos Rios open, RT’s light rail system grows to 54 stations.
