Your Toll Dollars at Work on E470
Every trip on E470 helps keep the road running today—and ready for tomorrow. Because E470 is funded entirely by tolls, your toll dollars go directly back into operating, maintaining, and improving the roadway you rely on.
Unlike many roads, E470 receives no state or federal funding. Your tax dollars don’t pay for E470—your tolls do. That means toll revenue supports everything from snow removal and pavement upkeep to safety services and future upgrades. Tolls are also the primary source used to repay the bonds that made the road possible in the first place. Simply put, every toll helps keep E470 reliable, well maintained, and built for the long haul.
Where does $1 of toll revenue go?
Your tolls stay right here in Colorado and are reinvested in the region. E470 receives no state or federal funding, and gas taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes do not support the road. Every mile of E470 is operated, maintained, and improved using toll revenue—so your tolls go directly back into the journey you’re on.
What happens when E470’s bonds are paid off? Even after E470’s bonds are paid off, tolls will still be needed to keep the road running smoothly. Just like a vehicle needs ongoing maintenance, E470 requires continuous care to stay safe, reliable, and well maintained. Tolls fund essentials like pavement upkeep, snow removal, roadside assistance, technology upgrades, and long‑term preservation—so the road continues to perform as designed, today and into the future.
