“It’s not like I am being thrown in jail and wrongly accused of killing somebody. It is very minor. But, still, it is an injustice.”

Denver resident Ed Davidson stands by his Chrysler Town and Country van on Sept. 12, 2024, still bothered after paying a CDOT express lanes violation ticket sent to his home after a summer visit to the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Chatfield Farms native plant refuge. The automated enforcement has registered more than 463,488 violations — about 1,500 per day.

Colorado officials activated enforcement on Interstate 25 north of Denver and the C-470 beltway in October 2023 following an introduction in July 2023 on I-70 mountain express lanes. They plan to do the same on the I-25 express lane between Castle Rock and Monument and other express lanes around metro Denver.

“This is bullying people into paying up,” said Huffman, who served as an appointed Douglas County state representative for seven months. Roughly one in 10 drivers accused of violations initially disputed their fines using a website, state records show, and of the $57 million in fines imposed, $27 million hadn’t been paid as of Aug. 11. Only 1,277 drivers accused of crossing double white lines have paid the $30 “adjudication fee” to request an administrative review hearing.decided in August to deploy a Texas-based collections agency to pursue payment from drivers who fail to pay fines due for more than 30 days.
