City of Tehama
The City of Tehama is a small, incorporated city located along the Sacramento River in Tehama County. The community has been in existence since 1850 on the lands of the Nomlaki tribe. Tehama is small and compact and non-motorized forms of transportation are typically done recreationally and not for commuting. Many residents travel two miles or less to Los Molinos across the river for services without established pedestrian or bicycle facilities.
Transportation Plan
The Transportation Plan is intended to create the framework for an inclusive multimodal transportation network by addressing the current challenges and needs in the City of Tehama and simultaneously improving the community’s live, work, and play connections. The Plan will focus on improving existing non-motorized and public transportation networks in the City and creating the potential for increased opportunities. Improvement and creation of active transportation networks in the City will promote an active lifestyle and improve social-wellbeing. The plan will also aim to address evacuation access routes.
