Location

The Watt/I-80 is a side platformed Sacramento RT light rail station in North Highlands, California, United States. The station was opened on March 12, 1987, and is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. As part of the Blue Line, it has service to Downtown Sacramento, South Sacramento, California State University, Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, Gold River and Folsom. The station is located in the median of Interstate 80 below Watt Avenue, and this has been the Blue Line's northern terminus since its opening.

The station includes a park-and-ride and a bus transfer center. It is one of the busiest bus/light rail transfer points in the Sacramento Regional Transit District. It is also the only 2-level light rail station in the system: light rail, peak commute buses, and a Placer County Transit bus route to Auburn use the lower level (I-80 level) while all daily routes use the Watt Avenue overpass (upper level).
