Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol and local law enforcement agencies will join forces for the Memorial Day DUI enforcement period from Friday to Tuesday. The enforcement period aims to remind Coloradans to celebrate responsibly over the holiday weekend and throughout the summer.

CDOT anticipates more Coloradans will be visiting bars and restaurants this summer and reminds all patrons to consume alcohol responsibility.

Driving impaired, whether by alcohol or marijuana, DUI or DWAI, can cost upward of $13,500 in fines and legal fees. A DUI can also result in a revoked license, increased insurance costs, jail time and a criminal record.
