Section 11-49B-1 Declaration of purpose and legislative findings. The Legislature finds that it is estimated that by the year 2040, 40 percent of the economy of this nation, both people and jobs, will be located in a 14-state region between Texas and Virginia. Alabama, and in particular the Class 1 municipality and surrounding counties, will be in the very center of this geographic spread. This center of the growth pattern when combined with our educational facilities, quality of life, abundance of natural and cultural resources, steady economic growth, range of housing options, quality health care, climate, affordability, and accessibility provides this region with an unprecedented opportunity to attract new business both service based and manufacturing. It, therefore, is the intent of this chapter to take advantage of this growth opportunity by providing for a unified, coordinated, centrally orchestrated, genuinely regional system of public transportation embracing services in the...

Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of the state highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic, natural, historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy of designations as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique features and special role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public interest would be served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance recreational, cultural, and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through tourism, improve the transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history, culture, and natural beauty of this state. In order to implement this program, the Legislature has determined that a two-tiered structure would best serve the governance of the Alabama Scenic Byways program. The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...
