| The Sacramento Regional Transit District (RT) is completing a study to expand transit service to the area between downtown Sacramento and the Sacramento International Airport. The study includes the preparation of environmental documentation and other required reports to allow a selected alternative to advance toward implementation. In December 2003, the RT Board of Directors selected a locally preferred alternative (LPA) for the DNA Corridor that best achieved the goals and objectives for the DNA Corridor. The adopted LPA is Light Rail Transit (LRT) generally following 7th Street and Truxel Road to the airport.
Goals of the Downtown/Natomas/Airport (DNA) project include:
- Improve corridor mobility,
- Promote patterns of smart growth,
- Find cost-effective solutions for transportation problems in the corridor,
- Minimize community and environmental impacts,
- Provide solutions that are consistent with other planning efforts, and
- Have strong community support.
