The Colorado Automotive Reporting System (more commonly known as CARS) is getting an upgrade; it is migrating to a new server and a new Appeon/Power Builder Platform! Rest assured, system functionality will remain the same with this upgrade so end users shouldn’t notice any changes except for the new URL.


UPDATE: The new tentative Go Live date is Monday, December 16, 2024.

Should there be any issues during Go Live, the backup plan is to resume the use of the current CARSWeb version.  Therefore, we ask that you do not uninstall the current version of CARSWeb or Appeon.

In preparation for the transition, you will need to install the new version of CARS. You can do this at any time by following the instructions in the CARS 2024 Installation Guide.

Timeline of the Transition (tentative):  

07/26/2024-12/13/2024: CARS Testing

12/13/2024-12/16/2024: CARS will be unavailable beginning Friday, December 13, 2024 at 5 pm

12/16/2024 7:00 am: The new CARS system/platform goes live - users will log into the new CARS system

Be sure to watch for communication from OIT and from the Fleet Application Support and Training Team (FAST), dpa_sfmtraining_support@state.co.us.

To ensure a smooth transition, the FAST Team will also offer “Open Office Hours” on the morning of Go-Live, for anybody experiencing issues.  Click on the link below to add the meeting to your calendar:
