Accelerating Broadband Deployment in Colorado

This Executive Order builds upon Executive Order B 2020 009 that directed the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) to oversee and coordinate broadband activities for all Agencies and/or Departments. Through this Executive Order, I direct OIT, through the Colorado Broadband Office, to lead collaboration and coordination between all Agencies and/or Departments for all broadband deployment efforts in Colorado. This Executive Order directs the Colorado Department of Transportation to enhance their Fiber Lease and Right of Way program. Under this Executive Order, the Colorado Broadband Office will coordinate with Agencies and/or Departments to ensure they prioritize broadband deployment and increase transparency, cooperation, and collaboration to tactically execute on the Governor’s vision for broadband throughout Colorado.
