2017 Colorado Legislative Conservation Scorecard

One of the priorities of both the state Senate and House this year was to secure long-term, sustainable funding for Colorado’s transportation sector. Coloradans want a transportation system that is safe, modern, and provides options. In addition to funding roads and bridges, Colorado needs significant investments in public transportation, safer walkways, and biking opportunities. This bill would have allowed Coloradans to vote on whether to modestly increase the statewide sales tax to add $3.5 billion into the state’s transportation sector in a measure that included significant funding for multimodal options.

Bill Sponsors: Representatives Crisanta Duran and Diane Mitsch Bush, Senators Kevin Grantham and Randy Baumgardner
