Colorado voters rejected both major transportation funding bond measures on the ballot Tuesday, taking billions of dollars of potential funding off the table

Proposition 109 would’ve authorized the state to sell up to $3.5 billion in bonds without raising taxes to fund road, bridge, and tunnel projects, and proposition 110 would have approved up to $6 billion in bond sales to fund road and transit projects and raised sales taxes.
