The region's first expressway, originally known as the Elvas Freeway (now The Capital City Freeway-Business Route I-80) opened in May 1955. By the mid-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, known -at the time- as RT Metro. This network was extended between 1993 and 2015. In the mid-2020s, the SacRT stretches for 42.9 route miles and serves fifty-three station stops.
