The area comprising East Baton Rouge Parish and surrounding parishes has developed and continues to develop into a metropolitan area with a common interest in the cultural, social, and economic well-being of its people.  This area has serious congestion, traffic, and air quality problems, which impede and will increasingly impede the development of these common interests to their fullest potential.  It is therefore the public policy of this state to promote the establishment of a joint transit instrumentality, encourage participation in it by the local governments involved, and facilitate the accomplishment of its purposes.

Acts 2005, No. 463, §1, eff. Jan.1, 2006.
