INTRODUCTION
The Colorado Department of Transportation (“CDOT”) is responsible for administering an Outdoor
Advertising Program for the State of Colorado, and enforcing federal and state laws, including CDOT’s Rules
Governing Outdoor Advertising in Colorado (the “Rules”).
CDOT personnel administering the program are guided by federal and state law, including the Rules and
agreements with the Federal Highway Administration. In order to do this, CDOT has created the following
authoritative documents to support the laws governing outdoor advertising. These documents should be
consulted for any outdoor advertising question. They are listed below in order of importance:
 The Rules Governing Outdoor Advertising in Colorado, 2 CCR 601-3
 The Outdoor Advertising Reference Guide
 Procedural Directive 1501.2 “Procedures Governing CDOT’s Outdoor Advertising Program”
 The Outdoor Advertising Manual
 Guidance Memorandum: State Oversight of On-Premise Advertising On-Premise Signs Guidance
Memorandum / Nevans / Sept. 16, 2014
The Outdoor Advertising Reference Guide is a companion document to the Manual. It is separate from the
Manual, and can be found on the Outdoor Advertising webpage. The purpose of the Reference Guide is a
complete compilation of all federal and state regulations, laws and statutes, as well as all Federal State
Agreements between CDOT and the Federal Highway Administration, and critical FHWA memoranda.
CDOT Organization
Procedural Directive 1501.2 sets forth the roles and responsibilities for CDOT personnel who oversee
and implement the CDOT Outdoor Advertising Program. Please see the Procedural Directive included in
this Manual for the roles and responsibilities of CDOT personnel. See also the Contact Information sheet
with up-to-date phone numbers and email addresses. The Outdoor Advertising Control Program
Manager administers the Outdoor Advertising Program and works with the inspectors and engineers in
the five CDOT regions to effectively control outdoor advertising in Colorado.
