Colorado Dealers

• The Colorado Department of Revenue and Governor’s Office of Information Technology received funding during the 2014 and 2015 legislative sessions to replace the outdated Driver’s License System (DLS) and Colorado State Titling and Registration System (CSTARS)

• This project is called the Colorado Driver License, Record, Identification and Vehicle Enterprise Solution (Colorado DRIVES)

• The primary goal of the Colorado DRIVES project is to provide a flexible, reliable, accurate and integrated solution for driver and vehicle services, as well as business licensing and revenue accounting

• This project is the cornerstone to the DMV Strategic Plan goal of improving customer service and meeting the Governor’s goal of reducing wait times in state driver license offices. When implemented, Colorado DRIVES will provide:

  • State employees a modern and user-friendly system that reduces customer service time

  • Increased system reliability that significantly reduces outages and downtime in  driver license and motor vehicle offices

  • Colorado residents access to information to better prepare them for their office visit as well as improved online services.
