Continuing our information about what transportation modes already serve Sacramento Valley Station, here is a list:

• Capitol Corridor, hosted by Capitol Corridor JPA and contracted to Amtrak. 30 trains per weekday (15 each direction) and 11 per weekend day, one originating in Auburn but the remainder in Sacramento, and serving either Oakland Jack London Square or San Jose, with bus connection to San Francisco. 
• San Joaquins, hosted by San Joaquin JPA and contracted to Amtrak. Four trains per day (two each direction), originating in Sacramento and serving Bakersfield, with bus connection to Los Angeles. 
• Amtrak Coast Starlight, two trains per day (one each direction), connecting Los Angeles to Seattle via Sacramento.
• Amtrak California Zephyr, two trains per day, connecting Emeryville (Bay Area) to Chicago via Sacramento. 
• Amtrak Thruway Buses, feeder bus routes for the above trains, connecting with nearly all of the scheduled trains in Sacramento, and serving such places as Reno, Redding, Stockton, South Lake Tahoe, and cities along the way. All major train stations in California have these Thruway bus connections. 
• SacRT Gold Line, 15 minute frequency during the day on weekdays, 30 minute frequency on weekends and evenings, with shorter hours of service than the rest of the line, connecting Sacramento Valley Station to downtown and Folsom, as well as the Blue Line, Green Line, and many bus routes. 
• SacRT Bus Route 30, 15 minute frequency during the day on weekdays, 30 minute frequency on Saturday and evenings, 60 minute and short service hours on Sunday, serving Sacramento Valley Station and CSU Sacramento. 
• Taxis: there is a dedicated taxi drop-off/pick-up area on the north side of the station. 
• Lyft/Uber: these rial hailing companies are serving the station, but there is no dedicated area so they mix with private vehicle traffic on the south side of the station. 
• Private vehicles: Many people are dropped off and picked up by friends and family, using the area on the south side of the station. People also park at the station, though extended parking is quite expensive. The lot just south of the station is small, but there are additional lot to the west. These are never completely full except when special events in Old Sacramento fill them. 
• Walking: Many people walk to and from the station, though I St to the south and 5th St to the east are not pedestrian friendly, with traffic accelerating to freeway speeds well before the freeway ramp. The signalized crosswalk over I St in front of the station, installed last year, has helped, but that does not seem to be the route for most pedestrians. There is no wayfinding signage to help people get to and from the station. 
• Bicycling: many people bicycle to and from the station. There are now two bike storage options, regular racks and BikeLink lockers (rental by the minute with a card). Unfortunately, there are no routes to and from the station that the average bicyclist is willing to use. Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) has been raising this issue with the city for years, but so far there has not been any progress.
