Whether it’s ADA, bike, and pedestrian safety improvements at Antelope Road/I-80 for the City of Citrus Heights, a new four lane roadway across Folsom Dam, the Sacramento Regional Transit District’s light rail extension to Consumnes River College, or the widening of South Watt Avenue from two to four lanes between Florin and Jackson roads, “We Were Built for That!” 

STA is currently assisting with 20 active projects alongside STA’s partner cities, Sacramento County, and these key agencies: 

• California Highway Patrol 
• CalTrans 
• Capital Southeast Connector 
• Paratransit 
• SACOG 
• Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District 
•  Sacramento Regional Transit 

Every proposed, planned, or project under construction is designed with Sacramento’s communities in mind. From crossing the street to getting across town, the goal is to reduce congestion, improve public safety, provide better access, and offer needed programs and services for people in our region.

Examples of large and long-term cooperative projects include: 

• Highway 50 Bus/Carpool Lanes: Sunrise Boulevard to Downtown Sacramento 
• Interstate 5 Bus/Carpool Lanes: Beach Lake Bridge north to Interstate 80 

Examples of completed partnership projects include: 

• Grantline Road Highway 99 Interchange Upgrade with the City of Elk Grove 
• Hazel Avenue Improvement Project with the County of Sacramento 

STA was also built to provide the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP). This unique program began in 1992 and reduces freeway congestion by quickly finding and removing minor incidents from our freeways in Sacramento and Yolo Counties: 

• Free to the public 
•  15 vehicle service trucks in service during high traffic periods 
• 30,000 incident assists on average each year 
• 1,000,000 assists since the program began 

As an independent local government agency, STA is guided by a 16-member Board of Directors. Our leadership is chosen from the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors and city council members representing Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Isleton, and Rancho Cordova. You can read more about our leadership here. 

Our staff members have diverse and experienced careers in both the public and private sectors. Their professional work includes engineering high-profile projects, overseeing multi-million-dollar budgets, developing administrative and financial systems, and executing constituency initiatives. 

From minor surface repairs to projects with impact for the next 30 years, “We Were Built for That!”
