Checked facts

Busiest lanes

According to Census ACS 2024, the largest estimates of people now in Colorado who lived in another state a year earlier are Texas, 27,574 (margin of error 4,594); California, 19,717 (margin of error 3,479); and Florida, 12,564 (margin of error 3,529). The largest outbound flows go back to Texas and California. The route list marks these as truck lanes. Texas to Colorado is the busiest inbound pair. California to Colorado is next.

Traction law and chain law

CDOT can put a traction law or a chain law on any state highway when weather requires it. Signs, COtrip.org, and alerts tell drivers. From Morrison to Dotsero on I-70, between 1 September and 31 May, the passenger traction law can be enforced. A passenger vehicle then needs 3/16 inch tread rated all-weather or winter (mountain-snowflake, M+S, or M/S), or chains, or an approved alternative. In a severe storm the chain law is the last step before a closure, and every vehicle needs chains or an approved alternative. A loaded car carrier is not a passenger car. Ask what the carrier does when I-70 is under a chain law.

Bases, auctions, and campuses

Fort Carson is the large Army post in the list, near Colorado Springs. Buckley, Peterson, Schriever, and Cheyenne Mountain are Space Force sites, and the Air Force Academy is listed too. Inside the contiguous United States, Military OneSource says transporting a privately owned vehicle is largely the member's responsibility, with exceptions through the transportation office. Auction areas are listed for Colorado Springs and for Commerce. University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado State University in Fort Collins are the large residential campuses. Agree a meeting point the truck can reach. Mountain grades and a closed gate are both reasons not to assume a driveway delivery.

Registration

Title and register within 90 days after you establish residency. A purchase or transfer must be registered within 60 days. VIN verification uses form DR 2698 unless the vehicle is new on a manufacturer's statement of origin. Emissions apply if the vehicle is more than seven model years old and you live in a designated emissions county. The county list and the forms are on the registration page.
