Just more laws that get passed without anyone reading it. My company had no say in how I will freely move within this State or country. Plus the State is pushing these costs to them as well. Hell, more reason to move to the western slope.

So much for Happy Hour.
I lied on my survey for cdot. Said I drove an electric vehicle so I wouldn't have to change my commute or work from home.
The transit option was an extra 1.5hrs each way. No thanks.

Personally, I would just refuse to turn in a survey. I started doing that with the surveys for employee satisfaction when I last worked for corporate.

They will probably just add hi-def cameras with AI computing. China just built a huge high speed train. I wish we had that train from Pueblo to the Denver VA. Driving with a splitting headache is brutal.

UMM the western slope is still in CO. You're not immune to front range politics, for much longer.
Maybe it's time for mass non compliance by corporations. Not complying with these meaningless regulations will not harm anyone or anything. Compliance will cause more harm than good from loss of freedom and increased government surveillance. What can the state really do to compel compliance? Drive them from the state? Good luck not causing mass riots from lack of work and government services dependant on tax money.
Time for corporations to wage a PR war on this commie state.
Agreed, but most employees complying makes it easier for the corporations to comply. It'd be nice if it started from the ground up, but that's a pipe dream.
Moronic circle jerk at it's best.

I know but the emissions controls are a front range issue. They still have to start demanding those on the western slope before it gets this deep.

I took public transportation to my job in Downtown Denver back in the '90s. I ended up getting a 2nd vehicle because I did the math and it saved me about 13 hours of commute time per week. How much is your time worth? The state thinks it's nothing to be concerned about. In reality, time is priceless.
I was also able to remove the anxiety of being able to finish whatever IT issue the company was having without the worry of hitting the last train to the last bus that served my community. When I got the 2nd vehicle, I could leave whenever I needed to go wherever I needed.

Considering what your time is worth, either in monetary/work terms or personal value, is one of the few things that many folks never seem to figure out.
In this case, the State doesn't care what you think your time is worth. They think your time is better spent in pursuit of their ideals/goals.

My wife and I had a similar experience when living in the DC area. It made more sense to pay a little bit more in rent so we could walk to work (Old Town Alexandria) rather then take mass transit. RTD prices are cheap compared to other cities I've worked in but service can be slow. As gas prices continue to rise I wonder If we'll see increased RTD usage.
Meh we both work from home now [Evil] I can just RDP into the servers I need to work on.

In reality, a lot of IT work can be done from just about anywhere with decent Internet access.
And they have dropped this to only voluntary.

For now....
Two steps forward, one step back....
It will be mandated by state employers, then those who contract with the state. About the same time, the idea will be picked up by more progressively oriented city governments....
So, like the places collecting plastic bags fees early (outside of Denver limits and CO bag fee not in effect yet)....
Can I start charging employees like $1000 a month for a park space now?
Sure... "I will pay you $150K for an entry level position.... but... the parking fee is $12000 a month so you ride you bicycle... we have a new (repurposed because we dont want to increase our carbon footprint) bicycle rack over there...or course that is $12100 per month"
Unrelated, but anyone worried about the bag fee should just start saving all their bags now.

Was in Home Depot in Lakewood.
Check-out screen asked how many bags I wanted to buy.
Asked the clerk if we were in Denver.
No, was the answer.
I want to buy 0 bags, but would like to bag my multiple items.
I guess the alternative is to buy an Orange Bucket each time.

I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more shopping carts all over the place in the future. I generally look at people with disdain when they take off with shopping carts or just leave them in the middle of the parking lot. However, I'm quickly changing my mind.

Another alternative is to tell the clerk to watch your stuff and take the purchases out to the car one item at a time.
Got to be pretty aggressive with that approach and big enough to get away with it.
