Representative Tyler, chair, called the meeting to order.
10:57 AM -- HB 16-1273
Representative Arndt, prime sponsor, came to the table to present House Bill 16-1273 to the committee. The bill authorizes the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to charge a fee for parking at any CDOT parking facility (Park-n-Rides) for more than 24 hours or in a reserved parking space, and to establish rules that restrict parking availability to those using mass transit that is accessible from the parking facility.
CDOT may set aside 15 percent of spaces in a parking facility for reserved parking. Unless an individual opts to use reserved parking or automatic payment services, CDOT may not require an individual to provide personal information. CDOT may use the Department of Revenue's (DOR's) motor vehicle registration database to determine motor vehicle ownership on an as-needed basis. CDOT may also reserve parking spaces for its employees.
CDOT may not begin charging parking fees until it has posted notice of fees, parking rules, and violation penalties at all entrances and exits to the parking facility where it intends to charge a fee for at least 90 days prior. As long as CDOT charges a parking fee, these signs are required to stay in place.
Parking fees are payable in advance. CDOT may impose a daily penalty for failure to pay or violation of a rule. The penalty is set in the bill at $20 for the first offense, $50 for the second offense, and $100 for all subsequent offenses. The vehicle owner has 14 days to request a hearing. The hearing must be held within 30 days, and may be conducted either in person or by phone. A vehicle left unattended with a penalty assessed for more than four days may be towed.
Finally, CDOT and local governments must consult before establishing zoning, authorization, or contracts for privately owned or managed parking facilities that are accessible from a CDOT parking facility.
