Wyoming drivers no longer get free pass on E-470

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – Wyoming drivers have been driving free on

the E-470 highway around Denver because of a hitch between the two

states. But now the glitch has been resolved, and Wyoming’s free

ride is ending.

     The E-470 highway is frequently used by Wyoming drivers to reach

Denver International Airport. But when Colorado officials last year

stopped using toll booths and switched to using cameras to catch

drivers’ license plates, Wyoming drivers weren’t charged.

     That’s because officials hadn’t reached an agreement to obtain

vehicle ownership information with the Wyoming Department of Motor

Vehicles.

     Now the logistics have been worked out. Wyoming drivers without

a prepaid express tolling account will get bills in the mail.
