The region's first motor expressway, originally known as the Elvas Freeway (now The Capital City Freeway-Business Route I-80) opened in 1955. By the 1980s, Greater Sacramento's current expressway network was in place. This was joined, in March 1987, by an 18.3 route mile light rail line; the RT Metro. This was extended between 1995 and 2015. Today, the RT stretches for 42.9 route miles, with fifty-three station stops.
