7th & Capitol and 8th & Capitol stations
7th & Capitol and 8th & Capitol stations constitute a duo of Sacramento Regional Transit District light rail stops that are served by all three SacRT light rail routes: the Blue, Gold, and Green lines. Positioned in Downtown Sacramento at the intersection of Capitol Mall with 7th Street (southbound platform) and 8th Street (northbound platform), these stations are conveniently accessible on foot from landmarks such as the California State Capitol, Tower Bridge, Golden 1 Center, and Sutter Health Park. They represent the westernmost points where all three lines converge, facilitating transfers between the Blue, Gold, and Green Lines.
Serving as the main light rail gateway to the Golden 1 Center—the venue for the NBA's Sacramento Kings and other major events—these stations accommodate substantial passenger volumes. To improve traffic circulation and pedestrian safety along 7th Street, the adjacent 7th & K platform at St. Rose of Lima Park was permanently closed in 2016. That same year, enhancements were implemented to boost safety measures, security protocols, signage clarity, communication systems, and lighting infrastructure to better support the increased ridership associated with arena events.
