Transporters became the most reliable form of short-range transport by the [[24th century]]. Innovations in transporter technology around this time included safer site-to-site transport, which allowed for transport between two locations without first returning to a transporter room. By the [[29th century]], Starfleet had developed [[temporal transporter]] technology that allowed travel through time in a very similar manner to standard transporters of earlier centuries. (ENT|Shockwave)

Another example of this is where the  Federation  Timeship Relitivity  has to go back in time to stop a sabeteur from destroying USS Voyager. (VOY|Relitivity)


The basic principles behind [[Federation]] transporters didn't differ from those of other species although they had a distinctive blue color.

:''With perhaps one or two exceptions, every instance of transporter use shown in ENT, TOS, and TAS showed a "suspended subject".  This held true for Star Trek: the Motion Picture as well.  Beginning with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, transport subjects were shown being able to engage in limited movements, and even conversation while in transport.''

As with other Starfleet technology, the transporter had its own set of safety features, protocols and procedures. In an emergency, many of these safety systems could be modified or circumvented.
