Anyone needing a sticker should call
Assemblymember Ira Ruskin's office, 650-691.2121. Proof of
registration with a 95033 address is required to obtain a sticker.
Closures on Highway 17 due to weather, earthquakes, accidents and crime
scene investigations have prevented hundreds of mountain residents from
accessing their homes and schools due to CHP barricades.
A few years ago concerned local residents met with the previous District 24 Assemblyman
Jim Cunneen, Caltrans and CHP representatives to create what is today the
mountain resident ID sticker program. The identifying green and white soft
plastic stickers, placed in the lower left windshield of vehicles, may
allow resident traffic to be waved through a Highway 17 roadblock.
The first wave of stickers were mailed in 1999 by Cunneen’s office to
Santa Clara County residents residing in the 95033 zip code.
