TRAVEL FORECAST
I-70 traffic is quite predictable unless affected by weather or accidents. Plan to avoid peak travel times, and enjoy a delay-free trip along I-70. Our weekend travel forecast is updated every Thursday afternoon.
MOUNTAIN TRANSIT
Leave the mountain driving to someone else! Spend the trip reading, napping or chatting with friends, rather than sitting in your car battling for position on I-70.
CARPOOL & PARKING
Available resources make carpooling easy! Carpooling has long been an encouraged and celebrated mode of achieving congestion reduction.
PEAK TIME DEALS
Get the latest deals on dining, lodging, and shopping in Breckenridge, Vail, Frisco, Winter Park and more!
AUTO SOCKS
Vehicles with poor traction can have a significant, negative impact on winter I-70 travel, resulting in accidents and closures. The AutoSock is an easy to use textile tire cover designed to help vehicles get traction on snow and ice.
