If you’ve driven around Colorado lately, you’ve surely seen them. Black license plates with white letters and numbers. Their ubiquity has a lot of Coloradans wondering, as part of Colorado Public Radio’s Colorado Wonders series, what’s up with them – and where can I get one? We put that question, and a bunch of others about license plates, to Chris Hochmuth, who manages license plate inventory for Colorado’s Department of Revenue.

We swear we didn’t copy and paste this from an old story: the town of Silverton, voted on whether to allow off-highway vehicles in town. Once again. We won’t get into the entire backstory, but ever since Silverton first allowed OHVs to drive in town limits in 2014, it’s been a contentious issue, to say the least. Over the years, the town has held several back-and-forth votes on the issue. In 2021, residents voted to oust the vehicles from town.

The City of Durango recently announced a new late-night bus service for those a little too … overserved … to drive home at the end of the night. The service, called “DuranGO” (get it?), is a “nighttime, curb-to-curb, on-demand bus service” for people looking to responsibly get home, or wherever you want to end up. According to the City of Durango, an app will be available where you can call a bus from 8 p.m. - 12 midnight, seven days a week.
