Support for Aviation-Impacted Communities: Noise Mitigation and Pollution Reduction

This act aims to provide funding and support for communities near airports suffering from aviation noise and pollution. It will enable residents to receive funds for soundproofing homes and public buildings, and to participate more actively in addressing air traffic issues.
Key points
Aviation-impacted communities, even those outside current noise standards, will be eligible for funding for sound mitigation.
Local community boards will be established to represent residents and collaborate with aviation authorities to resolve issues.
Scientific studies on the impact of aviation on health and the environment will be conducted, with findings used to develop assessment and mitigation tools.
Aviation authorities will be required to develop action plans to reduce noise and pollution, incorporating community suggestions.
