Endangered Species/Lightrail/CESA - Help!

I have found and have high-quality evidence of the fact that the last stop on the green lightrail line in North Sacramento is home to a registered endangered species. I have no idea how to contact SacRT or get a surveyor out to the site. The apartment complex next door has already damaged their habitat by hacking down the NATIVE flowers that they were feeding on, and I'm now concerned that the city will soon be cutting down the field where they live. I need help, what do I do about this? I believe this is also under CEQA jurisdiction, but I'm not as certain about that as the CESA.

Crotch's Bumblebee Sighting

I initially thought this was a queen california bumblebee, because she's absolutely enormous (the size of a carpenter bee.) However... it seemed awful late in the season for her to be leaving the nest if so. As it turns out, I am fairly certain this is the endangered Crotch's Bumblebee (it's scientific name isn't much better, but its also known as the Golden State Bumblebee).
