This is a follow up to a previous request:

I had one follow-up question to my FOIA request.

Can you please share if any CDL training programs, schools, businesses, etc. in the state of Colorado received any funding from the Colorado Department of Transportation or any of its regional offices, programs, projects, etc.?

Thank you.

Sincerely,Rachel Premack
