The Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) held a meeting on September 10, 2026, focusing on key transportation infrastructure projects and funding allocations. The board authorized the Executive Director to execute a Measure A smart growth allocation and expenditure contract for a Green Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) feasibility study, with $200,000 allocated to explore BRT as a cost-effective alternative to light rail for the Downtown Natomas Airport corridor. The discussion highlighted the long-term planning and environmental work already invested in the Green Line light rail extension, while emphasizing the flexibility and economic benefits of BRT. Additionally, the board considered the nomination of the Grant Line Road reconstruction project for the SB1 Cycle 5 Local Partnership Program, a $25 million construction grant aimed at improving safety and infrastructure on a deteriorating road segment. The project includes full reconstruction, addition of bike trails, and safety enhancements, with a 100% federal match secured. The board unanimously approved both actions. The meeting also introduced an annual awards program to recognize transportation projects and leadership funded by Measure A, and the Executive Director reported on regional transportation funding applications and partnerships. No closed session actions were reported.
