Getting around+Nurses working locally have exceptionally short commutes, as both MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center and UCI Health Fountain Valley Regional Hospital are situated directly within city boundaries. The city is bisected by Interstate 405, providing direct access northwest toward Long Beach and Los Angeles and southeast toward Costa Mesa, Irvine, and John Wayne Airport. Orange County Transportation Authority operates bus routes through main thoroughfares, connecting to neighboring hubs like Huntington Beach and Irvine. However, freeway congestion and noise are persistent challenges during morning and evening shift-change rush hours, particularly along northern transit corridors.
