interstate travel
Crossing state lines
Interstate travel is movement between or among states, particularly the states of the United States.
The term appears often in legal and regulatory contexts, where crossing state lines can trigger different jurisdictions or constitutional protections: The Commerce Clause gives Congress authority to regulate interstate travel.
It also describes ordinary trips: Interstate travel by car increased after gas prices dropped.
