Overview: SB 25-258, Temporarily Reduce Road Safety Surcharge, Governor Signed, Introduced March 31, 2025
Purpose and Intent: This bill temporarily reduces the road safety surcharge fee that is collected as part of vehicle registration in Colorado. The surcharge helps fund transportation infrastructure and safety programs, but the state has determined that a temporary reduction is warranted to provide relief to vehicle owners.
Key Provisions:
- Reduces the road safety surcharge fee from $41.20 to $20.60 per vehicle registration
- Makes the reduced fee effective for vehicle registrations from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026
- Reverts the surcharge back to the original $41.20 amount after the one-year temporary reduction period
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Vehicle owners in Colorado will pay a lower road safety surcharge fee for one year
- The temporary reduction is expected to save vehicle owners approximately $20 per registration
- Transportation funding will see a temporary decrease during the one-year reduction period
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill was signed into law by the Governor and the reduced surcharge will take effect on July 1, 2025.
