Light rail is a mode of rail-based transport, usually urban in nature. When compared to heavy rail systems like commuter rail or rapid transit (subway), light rail systems are typically designed to carry fewer passengers and are capable of operating in mixed traffic or on routes that are not entirely grade-separated. Systems typically take one of four forms: the "first-generation" legacy systems, the "second-generation" modern light rail systems, streetcars, and hybrid rail systems. All of the systems use similar technologies, and some systems blur the lines between the different forms.

Streetcars were the primary mode of public transport in Tacoma, Washington, United States from the late 1800s until their discontinuance in 1938. Operated together with a network of interurbans, streetcars provided transport within Tacoma and throughout the Puget Sound region. Buses replaced the last streetcars in 1938. Streetcar-type transportation returned to Tacoma in 2003 with the opening of the Tacoma Link, a 4-mile (6.4 km) light rail line in Downtown Tacoma. There are proposals both to expand this system and to construct a new heritage streetcar system.
