SacRT has a free ride flyer effective today 7/4/26 starting 2PM until end of service valid on light rail and fixed-route buses. It's available to print or screenshot at the supplied link. It's to travel to/from the festivities at Hagan Park in Rancho Cordova.

Today's transit runs on a Sunday/Holiday schedule. A line here says Route 21 that's close to the park runs only until 8:46PM. So since the fireworks occur later, a different method is needed to return if staying late. (The Gold Line does run ​later, it's about a 20 - 30 minute walk to nearby stations, quicker with a bike or scooter.)

A collision took place between a pickup truck and a light rail vehicle close to the intersection of Folsom Blvd and Kilgore Rd. This was reported on r/Sacramento .

SacRT has a bus bridge between these 2 Rancho Cordova stations. It's not known yet when trains will resume normal service in this gap.

EDIT: The gap is now longer at 4:23PM, between Mather Field Mills and Sunrise Stations.

Some juvenile females were bullying another female. They escalated this by throwing lit fireworks into a bedroom in her home. A baby nursery was destroyed. The teens are charged with multiple crimes.

It's a really tragic moment to educate children on how dangerous fireworks are when mishandled by accident, or worse, on purpose.

Another report from ABC10 states this took place in a part of Citrus Heights west of I-80 south of Antelope Rd. Maybe you know the family or neighbors and can wish the expectant mother well.
