It's been a smooth ride for the Folsom light rail system, reaching a milestone this month. As of October, the service has officially been gliding along for two solid decades, connecting the dots for commuters and travelers alike since its expansion on October 15, 2005. The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) made the move to stretch the Gold Line's reach from Sunrise Station straight into the heart of Folsom. For those keeping track, that's 20 years of steadfast service and an answered call for connectivity between the suburban enclave and the urban sprawl of Sacramento.
According to information shared by the City of Folsom, earlier today, from 7 to 9 a.m., the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) hosted a “Rider Appreciation Pop-Up” at the Iron Point Station. Commuters who stopped by were treated to a special 20-year commemorative sticker as part of the celebration.
For the inquisitive or the nostalgic who might be keen on diving deeper into the origins and impacts of the light rail service on the local landscape, more details can be found at the dedicated Folsom 20th anniversary webpage.
