INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING APPLICATION FOR ACCESS PERMIT
(CDOT FORM NO. 137)
January 2010
To construct, relocate, close, or modify access(es) to a State Highway or when there are changes in use of
such access point(s), an application for access permit must be submitted to the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) or the local jurisdiction serving as the issuing authority for State Highway Access
Permits. Contact the CDOT Regional Access Unit in which the subject property is located to determine
where the application must be submitted. The following link will help you determine which CDOT Region
office to contact:
http://www.dot.state.co.us/AccessPermits/PDF/Region_Address_and_Map.pdf
All applications are processed and access permits are issued in accordance to the requirements and
procedures found in the most current version of the State Highway Access Code (Access Code). Copies
of the Access Code and the application form are available from the CDOT Headquarters, Access Unit
located at 4201 East Arkansas Avenue, Denver, CO 80222 and in each of the six Regional CDOT offices.
The locations of CDOT Regional Offices, the Access Code and the application form are also available
from CDOT’s web site at:
http://www.dot.state.co.us/AccessPermits/index.htm
Please complete all information requested accurately. Access permits granted based on applications found
to contain false information may be revoked. An incomplete application will not be accepted. If additional
information, plans and documents are required, attach them to the application. Keep a copy of your
submittal for your records. Please note that only the original signed copy of the application will be accepted.
Do not send or enclose any permit fee at this time. A permit fee will be collected if an access permit is
issued. The following is a brief description of the information to be provided on each enumerated space on
the application form (CDOT Form 137, 2010).
1. Property Owner (Permittee): Please provide the full name, mailing address and telephone
number and the E-mail address (if available) of the legal property owner (owner of the surface rights).
Please provide a telephone number where the Permittee can be reached during business hours (8:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Having a contract on the property is not a sufficient legal right to that property for
purposes of this application. If the access is to be on or across an access easement, then a copy of the
easement MUST accompany this application. If federal land is involved, provide the name of the
relevant federal agency AND attach copy of federal authorization for property use.
2. Agent for permittee: If the applicant (person completing this application) is different than the
property owner (Permittee), provide entity name (if applicable), the full name of the person serving as
the Agent, mailing address, telephone number, and the E-mail address (if available). Please provide a
telephone number where the Agent can be reached during business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
Joint applications such as owner/lessee may be submitted. Corporations must be licensed to do business
in Colorado: All corporations serving as, or providing, an Agent as the applicant must be licensed to do
business in Colorado.

3. Address of Property to be Served: Provide if property to be served has an official street
address. If the access is a public road, note the name (or future name) of the road.
4. Legal Description of Property: Fill in this item to the extent it applies. This information is
available at your local County Courthouse, or on your ownership deed(s). A copy of the deed may be
required as part of this application in some situations. To determine applicability, check with the
CDOT’s Regional Access Manager or issuing authority staff.
5. State Highway: Provide the State Highway number from which the access is requested.
6. Highway Side: Mark the appropriate box to indicate what side of the highway the requested
access is located.
7. Access Mile Point: Without complete information, we may not be able to locate the proposed
access. To obtain the distance in feet, drive the length between the mile point and the proposed access,
rounding the distance on the odometer to the nearest tenth of a mile; multiply the distance by 5,280 feet
to obtain the number of feet from the mile point. Then enter the direction (i.e. north, south, east, west)
from the mile point to the proposed access. Finally, enter the mile point number. It is helpful in rural or
undeveloped areas if some flagging is tied to the right-of-way fence at the desired location of the access.
Also, if there is a cross street or road close to the proposed access, note the distance in feet (using the
same procedures noted above) from that cross street or road.
8. Access Construction Date: Fill in the date on which construction of the access is planned to
begin.
9. Access Request: Mark items that apply. More than one item may be checked.
10. Existing property use: Describe how the property is currently being used. For example,
common uses are Single Family Residential, Commercial or Agricultural.
11. Existing Access: Does the property have any other legal alternatives to reach a public
road other than the access requested in this application? Note the access permit number(s) for any
existing state highway access point(s) along with their issue date(s). If there are no existing access
point(s), mark the “no” box.
12. Adjacent Property: Please mark the appropriate box. If the “yes” box is marked, provide a
brief description of the property (location of the property in relation to the property for which this
access application is being made).
13. Abutting Streets: If there are any other existing or proposed public roads or easements
abutting the property, they should be shown on a map or plan attached to this application.
14. Agricultural Acres: Provide number of acres to be served.
Instructions for completing Application for Access Permit (CDOT Form #137), January 2010

15. Access Use: List the land uses and square footage of the site as it will be when it is fully
developed. The planned land uses as they will be when the site is fully developed are used to project
the amount of traffic that the site will generate, peak hour traffic levels and the type of vehicles that can
be expected as a result of the planned land uses. There may be exceptional circumstances that would
allow phased installation of access requirements. This is at the discretion of the CDOT Regional Access
Unit or issuing authority staff.
16. Estimated Traffic Count: Provide a reasonable estimate of the traffic volume expected to use
the access. Note the type of vehicles that will use the access along with the volume (number of vehicles
in and out at either the peak hour or average daily rates) for each type of vehicle. A vehicle leaving the
property and then returning counts as two trips. If 40 customers are expected to visit the business daily,
there would be 80 trips in addition to the trips made by all employees and other visitors (such as
delivery and trash removal vehicles). If the PDF on-line version of this application is being used, the
fields for each type of vehicle will automatically be added together to populate the last field on the page.
17. Documents and Plans: The CDOT Regional Access Manager or issuing authority staff will
determine which of these items must be provided to make the application complete. Incomplete
applications will not be accepted. If an incomplete application is received via U.S. mail or through
means other than in the hand of the Access Manager or issuing authority staff, it will not be processed.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify with the CDOT Regional Access Manager or
issuing authority staff whether the application is complete at the time of submission.
Signature: Generally, if the applicant is not the property owner, then the property owner or a legally
authorized representative must sign the application. With narrow exceptions, proof of the property
owner’s consent is required to be submitted with the application (proof may be a power of attorney or a
similar consent instrument). The CDOT Regional Access Manager or issuing authority staff will
determine if the exception provided in the Access Code (2.3 (3) (b)) is applicable.
If CDOT is the issuing authority for this application, direct your questions to the CDOT Regional Access
Manager or the issuing authority staff serving the subject property.
http://www.dot.state.co.us/AccessPermits/PDF/Region_Address_and_Map.pdf
If the application is accepted, it will be reviewed by the CDOT Regional Access Manager or the issuing
authority staff. If an Access Permit is issued, be sure to read all of the attached Terms and Conditions
before signing and returning the Access Permit. The Terms and Conditions may require that additional
information be provided prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
The CDOT Regional Access Manager (or issuing authority staff) MUST be contacted prior to commencing
work on any Access Permit project. A Notice to Proceed that authorizes the Permittee to begin
access related construction MUST be issued prior to working on the access in the State Highway
right-of-way. The Notice to Proceed may also have Terms and Conditions that must be fulfilled before
work may begin on the permitted access.
