11-32-1
Section 11-32-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds, determines, and hereby
declares that, in counties having a population of not less than 600,000, there are conditions
present that are not present in counties with lesser populations. Those conditions include,
but are not limited to, the following: (1) The excessive growth in private vehicular traffic
in the counties is placing excessive burdens upon the road systems and parking facilities,
especially in commercial and industrial districts and in areas of high population density,
which cannot be alleviated by private vehicular traffic. (2) The number of vehicular miles
the average citizen of those counties travels per day is among the highest nationally in terms
of miles and commuting times. (3) The projected continued economic growth of the counties
and the general health and welfare of the citizens of the counties require those counties
to provide the enhanced availability of public transportation facilities, operations,...

Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction
of article. (a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its
intent to be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state
that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that
once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its
citizens has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The
advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons
required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken
to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...
