By car

I-80 bisects Truckee allowing access from Sacramento and the Bay Area from the west, and Reno to the east.

From Lake Tahoe, SR 267 heads north into Truckee.

While easy to approach under clear conditions, travelers should pay close attention to inclement weather during the winter. Roads in and out of Truckee can rapidly become treacherous during heavy winter storms. Donner Pass (over 7,000 ft/2,100 m elevation) in particular should not be attempted during heavy storms without strong winter driving skills and chains or 4-wheel drive. While well-maintained and regularly plowed and the pass can live up to its infamous name under the worst conditions.
