Commercial Trucking Permits

Rocky Mountain National Park issues Commercial Trucking Permit to use Trail Ridge Road for local businesses through the park. All individuals traveling through Rocky Mountain National Park for business outside of the park must secure a Commercial Trucking Permit allowing us to evaluate this use to ensure this type of travel does not adversely impact the park and visitors.

What is a Commercial Vehicle?

A commercial vehicle is any vehicle involved in transporting moveable property for fee or profit, either as a direct charge to another person, business, or otherwise, or used as an incident to providing services to another person, or used in connection with any business.

Commercial Vehicles may include any category of vehicle (i.e. sedan, truck).
