Local Agency Implementation

Colorado Revised Statute 42-4-110.5 established automated vehicle identification systems (AVIS) as a statewide concern and an area where uniform state standards are necessary. As of January 2025, local agencies must coordinate with CDOT and the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) to implement AVIS as outlined by local agency ordinance per the current Model Traffic Code for all areas along state and US highways.

Approval is required through an application process that involves submitting data, securing signatures from local and state authorities, and obtaining a special use permit to place equipment on CDOT right-of-way if needed. CDOT and CSP review each application to ensure AVIS is used for public safety, not revenue generation. For full details, refer to CDOT’s procedures and AVIS applications materials.
