Grant Programs for Airport Noise and Emissions Reduction

This act establishes grant programs to research and reduce noise and air pollution from aircraft and airports. The goal is to improve the quality of life for residents near airports, especially those most affected, by identifying pollution sources and implementing mitigation strategies.
Key points
A research program will be established to measure noise and emissions (including greenhouse gases and particulate matter) near airports, with the ability to trace their sources.
Research data will be used to develop strategies to reduce the negative impact of aviation on health and the environment, especially in highly affected communities.
Grants will be available for mitigation activities, such as home improvements (e.g., sound insulation), and health and environmental programs for affected residents.
