DENVER — Colorado lawmakers are considering a bill that would add an additional fee to annual registrations of larger vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks, to fund local safety infrastructure projects for cyclists and pedestrians.
“It then takes that money and puts it into a grant fund that then gets distributed to local governments to build pedestrian and bike infrastructure, general safety infrastructure to reduce traffic violence on our roads,” explained June Churchill, a supporter of the bill. He's also known as the"Denver Bike Mayor."
During a hearing Tuesday, dozens of advocates testified about their dangerous encounters as cyclists and pedestrians on Colorado’s roads, pleading with committee members to advance the bill to the full Senate. Because larger vehicles on the roads present more danger, they argued the extra fee was reasonable for future investment.
