L. 2000, p. 1699, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: ‘‘The General Assembly finds and declares as follows: (1) The establishment of railway passenger service to the general public and connecting points within and throughout this state and to nearby states will develop and promote, for the public good and general welfare of this state, trade, commerce, tourism, industry, and employment opportunities while alleviating highway traffic congestion and related air pollu-
tion. (2) Any implementation of such railway passenger service which meets the needs and promotes the general welfare of this state as a whole while making the best and most efficient use of resources requires a system of railway passenger service corridors which is comprehensive and coordinated for purposes of state planning and development of service. (3) It is therefore in the public interest and is vital to the public welfare of the people of Georgia, and it is declared to be the public purpose of this Act, to establish such a system of railway passenger service corridors provided by Code Section 46-9-290 as enacted by this Act.’’
