The I-70 rule, and when it applies

CDOT's traction law is in effect from September 1 through May 31 on I-70 between Morrison and Dotsero. During that law, passenger vehicles need 3/16-inch tread on all-weather, winter, or M+S tires, or chains or an approved device. In a severe storm, the passenger chain law can require chains or an approved device on every vehicle. CDOT can also turn the laws on for any state highway. An Aurora delivery whose route never enters the Morrison-to-Dotsero segment is not on that seasonal stretch. A truck that continues west on I-70 is. Check COtrip the day of travel.

Who moved to Colorado

Census ACS 2024 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). Outbound, Texas leads at 22,986 (margin of error 4,909). Texas to Colorado is the largest inflow. These are state counts. Registration stays on the Colorado page. The Denver page covers the mountain corridor in more detail. Set a meeting point if the residential street will not take the trailer.

No yard to borrow

IAA's Colorado Springs branch is not an Aurora release. Do not send an Aurora house order there. No installation is listed with Aurora as the host city on the pages used here, so a house order should not be routed to a base gate. If the truck will use I-70 west of Morrison in the traction season, say so when the pickup window is set. A local Aurora stop can skip that mountain plan.
