Local know-how
Citrus Heights and I-80
Citrus Heights became a city in 1997 and grew up around Sunrise Boulevard, Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard. I-80 runs along its western edge, which makes the start of an airport trip quick.
For teams and groups — school sports, church trips, work crews — a single Ford Transit collecting everyone from one meeting point is usually simpler than several cars.
Weekday mornings, I-80 westbound can slow near the Capital City Freeway junction; we allow for it.
