Secure Transportation Services

In 2021, the Colorado legislature passed HB21-1085, which requires all counties to have a licensing program for secure transportation services.

These services provide voluntary, urgent (but not medical, emergency, or police) transportation to treatment facilities for individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. They are a required benefit of the state's Medicaid program, under HB21-1085.

Secure Transportation Services are required to be licensed and the vehicles inspected prior to operating in Weld County.  It can take several weeks to get an application ready for submission.  Extensive requirements are in place to support the safety of all involved in these services.  Review the Colorado's standards and Weld County's ordinance for Secure Transportation Services before starting the process.
