## Resource

Sacramento’s electric streetcar revival is back on track—after a budget bust in 2019, the city’s scaled down the route from four miles to just 1.8 miles, slashing costs to $164 million, mostly covered by federal and state grants. Construction must start within a year to secure a decade-old funding deal, with new streetcars connecting West Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park to downtown, crossing Tower Bridge and linking to light rail. Expected to draw 750,000 riders yearly and boost access to sports venues, the project’s built right here in Sacramento—though some worry about parking and traffic.
