Colorado defines electric scooters (under 100 lbs, mph) as vehicles, not toys, allowing them on roads and sidewalks. Riders have the same rights as bicyclists, with no driver’s license or registration required. E-bikes (3 classes) and scooters must follow traffic laws, though local jurisdictions may have stricter rules.

Previously known as National Walk Our Children Day in 1997, it has evolved into Walk and Roll Day to encourage individuals to use some form of active transportation to get to school. Be sure to keep an eye out for children participating in this event, as there will be increased foot and bicycle traffic today.

Pets can be unpredictable, just like traffic, but my furry family member needs a bathroom break. Please give me space to keep her safe.

The Colorado State Patrol extends its sincere congratulations to Trooper Ashley Hokenstad and Trooper Eric Jostes on their outstanding performance at last week's National Top Trooper Competition in Ohio.

Competing against a highly skilled field, the team secured an impressive 8th-place finish out of 31 teams. Additionally, we commend Trooper Hokenstad for her exceptional precision in the driving portion of the competition, where she placed 4th among all female competitors.

While their placement on the leaderboard is commendable, what truly stands out is how they represented our agency. Both troopers demonstrated unwavering professionalism, courage, and toughness throughout the event. They also embraced the opportunity to build valuable relationships with fellow Troopers from across the nation.

Thank you, Trooper Hokenstad and Trooper Jostes, for your dedication and for representing Colorado with distinction. Outstanding work.
