Today, Congressman Ken Calvert and Congresswoman Norma Torres announced the progress of H.R. 672 by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. This bill mandates the U.S. Postal Service to assign a unique ZIP Code to Eastvale, among other communities nationwide. Both representatives serve parts of Eastvale in the House.

"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," stated 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."

"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," added Congresswoman 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."

Earlier this year, Reps. Calvert and Torres reintroduced H.R. 1225 to establish a unique ZIP Code for Eastvale. This proposal was included in H.R. 672, an omnibus ZIP Code bill introduced by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart.

Currently, Eastvale shares its ZIP codes—91752 with Jurupa Valley and 92880—with another area. Incorporated in 2010, Eastvale has around 70,000 residents.
