Colorado has introduced new license plate options and brought back old versions, including plates with black, red, and blue backgrounds. The state has seen a surge in popularity for these throwback license plates, particularly the black ones, which are generating funds for a new state office called the Colorado Disability Opportunity Office (C-Doo). This office was established by the legislature to assist individuals with disabilities in securing jobs and living independently.
The C-Doo will distribute $5 million this fiscal year to organizations supporting people with disabilities, with each retro license plate sold contributing $25 to the cause. These plates include designs such as green mountains on a white sky, as well as the reintroduction of plates with a white, red, or black background, with the black version being the most popular. The aim is to coordinate efforts across various state agencies to provide more efficient and less overlapping services for the approximately 20% of Coloradans with disabilities.
The office’s inaugural director, Danny Combs, has personal experience as the father of a son with autism and is the founder of a trade school in Englewood that trains young individuals with autism in various skilled trades. By bringing back these classic license plate designs, Colorado is driving support for a noble cause and creating greater opportunities for those with disabilities in the state.
