Fort Collins Dismisses 477 Radar Speeding Citations Due Vendor Printing Error

The city of Fort Collins is dismissing 477 speeding citations issued between September 4 and September 17, 2025, after an error by the vendor Verra Mobility caused the citations to be mailed without critical information such as the registered vehicle owner, vehicle details, and violation specifics. Although corrected citations were later sent, the City Attorney’s Office decided to dismiss all affected tickets to prevent confusion and address community concerns about potential scams. Residents who have already paid these fines can request refunds through the Fort Collins Municipal Court. The Fort Collins Police Services expressed understanding of the frustration caused and emphasized their commitment to maintaining trust in local traffic enforcement. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about the accuracy and fairness of speed camera enforcement, even as the city continues to expand its use of automated speed radars. The move aims to ensure that drivers are not penalized due to vendor errors and to uphold the integrity of traffic enforcement programs.
