To provide the highest level of safety and service to the community, CHP Truckee and Truckee PD are addressing safety concerns on Interstate 80 and through Truckee, due to ski traffic, by conducting proactive traffic control on Saturdays and Sundays.
What to expect:
Due to heavy visitation, expect delays along West River St. and State Route 89 between 7:00-9:00 AM (approximate).
Suggested route:
Access State Route 89 (south) by using Interstate 80 for ski traffic to Olympic Valley and the West Shore.
Tips:
Due to the unpredictable heavy traffic, it is strongly advised to leave early and bring lots of patience. If travel is necessary, public transportation or carpooling is the most advisable method. TART is free to ALL riders and will deliver occupants closer to the mountain than any available parking.
Impacts on operations:
Weather and unforeseen variables can hamper the effectiveness of traffic control measures. Please consult with partners for up-to-the-minute traffic and parking status (on Instagram at chp_truckee and FB at CHP-Truckee, www.palisadestahoe.com, https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov, https://tahoetruckeetransit.com)
There should be toll roads for the ski resorts. Gather the funds to pay for expanded infrastructure.
