The identifying marker, affixed to battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles registered in the state, provides access to certain transportation benefits. This identifier, officially sanctioned by the Colorado Department of Revenue, allows qualifying vehicles to utilize high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, even when driven by a single occupant, and potentially other transportation-related incentives.
The initiative promotes the adoption of cleaner transportation options by incentivizing their use and potentially reducing traffic congestion. The program’s history reflects a commitment to improving air quality and supporting sustainable transportation choices within the state. The availability of these benefits can significantly reduce commute times and costs for owners of qualifying vehicles.
