Resolving the Transportation issue
Does anyone know of any good citations detailing “transportation”? Looks like PA’s vehicle code all comes down to this word. I haven’t been able to find any opinions to really pin it down to being a commercial activity. (Justin Carlson AF 8/18/23)

it’s federal code that the states adopted.
look at 49 CFR (maybe start with §390.5) and you can also see it reflected in the definitions of 18 USC 31(6) and (10)

Texas code does not even contain a definition for “transport “, no surprise. Consult legal dictionaries such as, Bouvier’s. Transportation is a commercial term. As far as I can ascertain, every states’ transportation code only applies to commerce and government only has the power to regulate commerce, not the people. A guy in Texas, Eddie Craig, presents brilliant info. regarding TX transportation code. He doesn’t entertain Patriot mythos as well and like AF, he says to take the codes and laws and smack public servants with them when they misbehave. Although, I’m not a fan of scripts for when one is stopped by a policy enforcer. Assert your basic rights, shut up and get out alive.
I would also like to be informed if more legal citations are added here regarding the definition of the term transportation. Thank you for this information.
If they don’t include a definition of the term transport why is it called Transportation Code? Something seems fishy about all this.
Well I never use my car for services or commerce. So do I need a driver’s license?
