Eastvale –City and government officials have actively been trying to get the City of Eastvale its own ZIP code and have recently made big strides towards that goal.

On June 13, “Senator Richard Roth’s Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 3, which urges Congress and the President to give the City of Eastvale its own ZIP code, passed both houses of the State Legislature and made its way to the Governor’s desk,” stated the City. Assemblymembers Sabrina Cervantes and Bill Essayli also showed their support by co-sponsoring the bill.

“We hope this sends a strong, unified message to Congress and the White House for swift action to address this important community issue!” stated the City.

The City of Eastvale currently shares two ZIP codes: 91752 and 92880. “ZIP code 91752 represents the former Mira Loma unincorporated community that is shared between the Cities of Eastvale and Jurupa Valley; however, Mira Loma no longer exists as an unincorporated area after both cities incorporated,” stated a City news release. “ZIP Code 92880 is currently shared between the Cities of Chino, Eastvale, Ontario, and Norco.”

The City of Eastvale conducted a comprehensive outreach campaign over the last several months, successfully gathering over 1,100 letters of support from business owners, stakeholders, and community members. A resolution was also collected from its “respective County Board of Supervisors that expresses support for Eastvale in having an independent ZIP code,” stated the City news release. “As of June 13, Senator Richard Roth’s resolution advanced to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk.”

Senator Richard Roth shared that “multiple shared ZIP codes have burdened Eastvale residents with mail delivery disruptions, miscalculated insurance rates, business recruitment challenges and it may potentially lead to emergency service delays in the event of a disaster,” stated the City’s news release.

“Receiving a new and independent ZIP code would rectify issues that have plagued our community for over 13 years” stated Eastvale’s Mayor, Todd Rigby. “Having multiple ZIP codes that do not match our municipal boundaries has a real-world impact on our residents and businesses in our community—including challenges with emergency management, public safety, business attraction, mail delivery, and insurance policies. The Eastvale City Council appreciates the leadership of Senator Roth and Assemblymembers Cervantes and Essayli. We would also like to express our gratitude to the Legislature for their overwhelming support of SJR 3. We hope this sends a strong, unified message to Congress and the White House for swift action to address this important community issue.”
