In 2008 West Sacramento voters passed Measures U and V, a raise in sales tax dedicated to streetcar funding.[2] At the time, the streetcar was envisioned as a 4.4-mile (7.1 km) line running fromMidtown toWest Sacramento.[3] While distinct from theSacRT light rail system, it would have shared someright-of-way and assets with that system; RT would likely also operate the line.[4] If built, the service was expected to attract 5,800 daily riders.[5]

The project received $50 million from the federal government for construction in May 2017.[6] By June 2017, $200 million in local, state, and federal grants had been secured to build the streetcar line. A special district that includes businesses close to the streetcar agreed to a tax to offset operating costs; it was expected to generate $50 million over 25 years.[7]

Plans stalled in 2019 as construction bids came in significantly higher than expected, with the lowest bid at $184 million, or $76 million higher than anticipated.[8] The Sacramento City Council dissolved its special-use district dedicated to streetcar maintenance in August 2019.[2]

After failure of the initial plan, the line was retooled into a shorter 1.5-mile (2.4 km) route running fromSacramento Valley Station toSutter Health Park inWest Sacramento viaTower Bridge with one additional stop.[3] The revised alignment would have inbound streetcars turn south at 3rd Street after the Tower Bridge and then turn west along N Street to join the existing light rail tracks towards Sacramento Valley Station.[9] SacRT plans to operate the service using a singleSiemens S700 car, the same vehicle that is used on existing SacRT light rail service.[10] As of 2020[update] the plan requires updating environmental documents,[1] additional funding from host cities, and FTA approval.[11]
