(a) The Legislature finds that as the popularity of winter recreation has steadily grown, so too has the problem of insufficient parking areas for participants.
(b) The Legislature hereby declares that adequate parking facilities for winter recreation are essential to ensure safety and well-being of the states’ winter recreationists.
(c) Accordingly, in furtherance of the California Outdoor Recreation Plan, it is the intent of the Legislature to establish the California SNO-PARK Permit Program, whereby winter recreationists may purchase a windshield sticker that will allow them to park in any of the roadside parking areas to be established and plowed for this purpose.
