Sunrise station is a SacRT light rail facility featuring a side platform, situated in Rancho Cordova, California. It is managed by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. Since its inauguration on June 11, 2004, the station has been serving the Gold Line. Its location is on Folsom Boulevard, close to the intersection of Sunrise Boulevard and Highway 50.
This station, along with Zinfandel and Cordova Town Center, was launched as part of an $89 million eastward expansion beyond the Mather Field/Mills station. Initially, Sunrise functioned as the eastern endpoint for the then Downtown–Sunrise line (currently known as the Gold Line) until the line was extended to Historic Folsom in October 2005. Local authorities in Rancho Cordova expect these transit stops to promote transit-oriented growth throughout the Folsom corridor.
Serving as a significant stop on the eastern segment of the Gold Line, Sunrise provides peak service intervals of 15 minutes to downtown and operates every 30 minutes from Folsom. The station’s park-and-ride facility also hosts the Rancho Cordova Certified Farmers' Market every Saturday morning, fostering community involvement and supporting local businesses.
