Some employers post their official travel policies on line in an area that's visible to everyone, although the actuality can be somewhat different from the official rules....or it can depend on your unit, the client's/customer's travel policy, the funding source, etc.

You can also ask (perhaps HR) to send you a copy of the travel policy after you have an offer.

The problem is that an extendeed visit or day of interviews can be your best opportunity to get information about the reality during informal discussions. You can contact potential peers by phone or email after an offer has been extended, but this can be less satisfactory. Ideally you want to ask questions of at least several people who have similar travel patterns to those expected in the new job.
