You are asking the court to look at the decision made by a hearing officer related to a ticket you received for toll evasion on a toll road.  You must have gone through a hearing with the E-470 Public Highway Authority or Colorado High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HTPE) before starting a toll ticket appeal with the county court.

A toll road is usually a highway or road that is maintained (repaired, plowed, etc.) by a private company, not the state, county, or city.  

For more information about E-470 toll ticket appeals, see § 43-4-506.5 C.R.S. (Colorado Revised Statues).

For more information about HPTE toll ticket appeals,  see §43-4-808(2)(d)(VI). (Colorado Revised Statues). 

The statutes are Colorado laws.

Start your toll ticket appeal in the county court of the county where you received your toll ticket. 

E-470 toll tickets are given in Adams County, Arapahoe County, or Douglas County.  If you received your ticket in Arapahoe County, the Littleton location handles toll ticket appeals.

HTPE toll tickets are given in a variety of counties across Colorado. 

The courthouse finder will help you find the address of the court.

You have 30 days from the date that the E-470 Public Highway Authority or Colorado High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HTPE) issues an order, or 30 days from the date of your hearing with the E-470 Public Highway Authority or HTPE, to give your toll ticket appeal paperwork to the county court.
