Colorado is considering a weight-base car fee to address car bloat:

πŸ”Ή Fee would would apply to cars >3,500 lbs, up to $29.90/yr (should be higher, but it's a start)

πŸ”Ή $$ collected would fund bike lanes, road diets, automatic cameras, etc

πŸ”Ή Only collected in the 12 most populous counties

Pedestrian deaths in Colorado reached an all-time high of 115 last year.
