Require Vehicle-Related and Fuel Tax Revenue to Be Used for Road Transportation Initiative
Require Vehicle-Related and Fuel Tax Revenue to Be Used for Road Transportation Initiative
Colorado · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Require both the state and local governments to spend revenue from sales and excise taxes on motor vehicles, motor vehicle fuel, and two-thirds of sales taxes on vehicle parts and materials to be used for road transportation
A yes vote means
Money from vehicle and fuel taxes must be spent only on road transportation instead of going into the general budget.
A no vote means
Vehicle and fuel tax revenue can continue to be used for any government purpose, not just roads.
Simple explanation
Right now, when you buy gas or a car, the taxes from those sales go into a general pot that the government can spend on anything. This measure says that money has to stay dedicated to fixing and maintaining roads — kind of like putting a lock on a piggy bank so the money can only be used for one specific purpose.
