§ 1160-020. FINDINGS  


Latest version.
  • The Board of Supervisors of the County of Sutter hereby makes the following findings:

    (a)

    Increasing employment opportunities and residential construction in Yuba and Sutter Counties are projected to create an increase in traffic volumes.

    (b)

    Chapter 2.6 (commencing with Section 65088) of Title 7 of the Government Code requires Sutter County to adopt and implement a Trip Reduction Ordinance.

    (c)

    Ridesharing among employees for home to work trips is a simple, inexpensive, and effective means of reducing single occupant motor vehicle trips. A reduction in such trips can be expected to result in an improvement to the region's air quality, and a reduction in traffic congestion and energy consumption impacts relating to the anticipated growth in new jobs and residential construction.

    (d)

    Cooperation with and coordination of Trip Reduction programs with other cities, counties, and communities in the region and through regional agencies would enhance the effectiveness of such programs.
