Mather Field/Mills station is a side platformed SacRT light rail station in Rancho Cordova, California, United States. The station was opened on September 6, 1998, and is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. It is served by the Gold Line. The station is located near the intersection of Mather Field Road and Folsom Boulevard, is served by various RT bus routes, and serves the nearby Mather Field and the nearby Mills Shopping Center.
When the station opened in 1998, it replaced Butterfield as the eastern terminus of what was then the original RT light rail alignment (Watt/I-80–Downtown–Butterfield line) and was the first extension to the original network.[4] It would remain the terminus through June 11, 2004, when the line was extended to Sunrise and eventually all the way to Folsom.[5]
