RENO, Nev. — A U.S. judge has denied a Utah bus company's bid to block Nevada regulation of routes that run primarily between Reno and Las Vegas but briefly cross into California, siding with regulators who say their ability to ensure the safety of buses in Nevada is in the public's best interest.against the Nevada Transportation Authority and sought a temporary restraining order prohibiting state oversight of what the company insists is interstate travel not subject to state regulation.
U.S. District Judge Robert C. Jones denied the company's request for injunctive relief in a 12-page ruling Thursday that says the travel constitutes intrastate movement subject to state regulation. Salt Lake Express, owned by Western Trails Charters & Tours, said its fleet of more than 100 buses and vans serving eight western states are inspected regularly. It said it's had no similar trouble in Washington, Arizona, Montana, California, Wyoming, Idaho or Utah.
The dispute centers largely on disagreement over the point where intrastate travel — trips within the same state — ends, and interstate travel between states begins. “Simply starting a route in one state does not change the fact that the local travel from one Nevada destination to another Nevada destination is an integral step in the interstate movement,” he said.
