Rep. Torres and Rep. Calvert Bill Establishing an Eastvale Zip Code Advances House Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Norma Torres (CA-35) and Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) praised the advancement of H.R. 672 by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The bill requires the U.S. Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for the city of Eastvale, in addition to other communities across the country. Reps. Torres and Calvert both represent portions of the city of Eastvale in the House of Representatives.
“For too long, Eastvale has faced unnecessary challenges due to the lack of a single, unique ZIP Code. I'm proud to work with Congressman Calvert as we push for a bipartisan solution that meets the needs of Eastvale's growing community," said Congresswoman Norma Torres. "This bill is about more than numbers-it's about ensuring every resident, small business, and neighborhood is accurately represented and properly served. Today's vote in committee is a big step forward for fairness- and we will continue to push for passage through the full House of Representatives."
“Eastvale residents and small businesses are one step closer to having the single, unique ZIP Code they have been seeking since incorporating as a city,” said Rep. Calvert. “As we have heard, establishing a single, unique ZIP Code for Eastvale is important for the city’s identity, GPS directions, insurance rates, the collection of sales taxes, and other factors. I’m thankful for the support of Rep. Torres and my House colleagues who have supported this legislation.”
Earlier this year, Reps. Torres and Calvert reintroduced legislation, H.R. 1225, to establish a unique ZIP Code for the city of Eastvale. That bill was incorporated into H.R. 672, an omnibus ZIP Code bill introduced by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26).
Currently, the city of Eastvale is split between two ZIP codes, 91752 and 92880. The 91752 ZIP code is shared between Eastvale and the city of Jurupa Valley. The City of Eastvale was incorporated in 2010 and has a population of approximately 70,000.
