Location

12th & I is a light rail stop on the Sacramento Regional Transit District's Blue Line. It is located at the intersection of 12th and I Streets in Downtown Sacramento, California. Nearby are a variety of downtown offices and the Sacramento Convention Center Complex. Due to the revenue tracks running in both directions on a one-way thoroughfare (12th Street is one-way southbound), wheelchair users can only access northbound trains from the adjacent curbside platform. The stops are located adjacent to the former Sacramento Union Station,[2] where Sacramento Northern Railroad interchanged with Central California Traction Company interurban services.
