Location

39th Street/UC Davis Health is a side platformed Sacramento RT light rail station in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Sacramento, California, United States. Operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District, the station was opened on July 14, 1994, and is served by the Gold Line. The station is located near the intersection of 39th Street and Highway 50.

Included originally as part of the network, both this and the 48th Street station were deferred and not constructed in 1987 due to intense neighborhood opposition.^[2] However, both would open as infill stations in July 1994 due to a shift in attitude towards the rail project following its successful opening from the surrounding neighborhoods.^[2]

In October 2019, RT and the UC Davis Medical Center reached an agreement to rename the station 39th Street/UC Davis Health station.^[3]
