Utah Statutes
§ 72-12-102 — Legislative findings and policy.
(1)The Legislature finds that:
(1)(a) increasingly heavy commuting burdens on Utah's freeways and major transportation arteries are gradually aggravating driving conditions for all Utah motorists;
(1)(b) single-occupant driving is the predominant mode of transportation used by commuters in Utah;
(1)(c) single-occupant driving represents the most costly and most excessive use of dwindling petroleum reserves; and
(1)(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.
