Policy & Procedure Library
Have you heard? CASTA is developing a searchable online catalog of policies and procedures from agencies around the state. The online database will be secured with login in credentials assigned by CASTA so will only be accessed by other agencies in Colorado like yourself.

Help us strengthen this resource by sending us policies and procedures from your agencies! Please send files directly to Joey Parks at josephp@coloradotransit.com!
How Can I Best Use the
