Travel refers to a person’s movement from one location to another—whether across a city or town; from one city or town to another; from one state to another; or from one country to another. Travel may be for business purposes or for personal purposes and often requires motorized transportation, such as planes, trains, and automobiles.
In Colorado, travel regulations encompass a variety of laws and rules that govern how individuals can move within and beyond the state's borders. For motorized transportation such as automobiles, drivers must comply with the Colorado Revised Statutes, which include traffic laws, vehicle registration requirements, and driver licensing regulations. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) oversees state transportation systems and ensures roads are safe for travel. For air travel, federal agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) set forth security and safety regulations that apply to flights originating from or arriving in Colorado. Train travel is regulated by both state safety standards and federal laws administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Whether traveling for business or personal reasons, individuals must adhere to these regulations to ensure safety and compliance with the law.
