The Colorado Department of Transportation was awarded a $1.066 million Formula Grant from the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated program. This grant will support Colorado's efforts around alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures from October 2021 through September 2025. Under Section 164, states are encouraged to enact and enforce repeat intoxicated driver laws establishing specified penalties for repeat offenders to avoid the transfer of federal funds to other states. This award will allow Colorado to continue its work developing and implementing countermeasures that support the goals of the federal program by penalizing repeat intoxicated drivers.
