CO HB1303

Creates the Crash Prevention Enterprise within the Colorado Department of Transportation to fund infrastructure improvements and strategies that reduce motor vehicle collisions with vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists) and wildlife

Imposes a crash prevention fee of up to $3 per vehicle annually on automobile insurance policyholders beginning July 1, 2026, with insurers required to collect and remit the fee to the enterprise

Allocates 70% of fund revenue for grants to local governments, tribal entities, and private entities for vulnerable road user safety projects (sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, traffic calming devices), and 30% for wildlife crossing infrastructure (overpasses, underpasses, fencing)

Caps total fee revenue at $100 million during the enterprise's first five fiscal years, with fee amounts adjusted annually for inflation based on the national highway construction cost index

Requires the enterprise to publish a 10-year implementation plan, maintain a public accountability dashboard, and submit annual reports to the legislature; authorizes the Division of Insurance to impose civil penalties up to 120% of amounts due on insurers failing to collect and remit fees
