72-12-102. Legislative findings and policy. (1) The Legislature finds that: (a) increasingly heavy commuting burdens on Utah's freeways and major transportation arteries are gradually aggravating driving conditions for all Utah motorists; (b) single-occupant driving is the predominant mode of transportation used by commuters in Utah; (c) single-occupant driving represents the most costly and most excessive use of dwindling petroleum reserves; and (d) rapidly increasing energy costs represent an ever-growing burden on commuters' work-related expenses. (2) The policy of this state is to support and encourage transportation modes and ride-sharing programs that reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled, thereby reducing gasoline consumption and protecting the environment.
Renumbered and Amended by Chapter 270, 1998 General Session |
