Not so fast: Study on rapid airport route through Natomas paused by Sacramento RT

Sacramento Regional Transit is pausing what would be the first step in establishing a transit line through Natomas to Sacramento International Airport. It says a delay in a state project and loss of a potential revenue stream triggered the decision. CEO Henry Li said Monday during the agency’s board of directors meeting that the study looking into the feasibility of a bus rapid transit route between downtown Sacramento and SMF would not start in spring 2027 as originally planned.

Bus rapid transit systems, which are set up throughout California, offer shorter travel times than regular buses through features like dedicated lanes and traffic signal priority. BRT is designed to bridge the gap between traditional bus service and light rail.
