Transportation and Commuting

Today most people travel by private automobile. For many trips, this is an easy and convenient choice.
However, there is a need to consider other means of transportation if we are to prevent future problems on our streets and highways.

There are alternatives to the single-driver private automobile. Temecula's City Council and the Public Traffic/Safety Commission feel it is important to provide you with information about the alternative transportation options you may consider.

As a citizen, considering your commuting options is a responsible and civic-minded thing to do. Temecula has committed to making wise choices in where future transportation facilities will be located in order to insure responsible growth in the most logical areas and to encourage freedom from dependence upon private vehicles.

Below we have many sections for our residents to find information about transportation and commuting faster and easier.
