7th & Richards/Township 9 station is a SacRT light rail stop featuring side platforms, situated in Sacramento, California and managed by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. This station began operations on June 15, 2012, functioning as the northern endpoint of the Green Line. It stands as the sole RT light rail station served exclusively by this particular line, which has future plans to extend service to Sacramento International Airport. In close proximity is the Greyhound Lines bus terminal for Sacramento, located at 420 Richards Boulevard.
Positioned at the intersection of Richards Boulevard and North 7th Street within the River District, just north of Downtown Sacramento, the station was inaugurated alongside a track extension project valued at $44 million. This marked the Green Line’s first newly constructed station. Local government officials consider its launch a significant catalyst for revitalization efforts in the River District.
