San Francisco Airport Noise Reduction: New Mitigation Program

New regulations aim to reduce aircraft noise from San Francisco International Airport, especially during nighttime hours. The airport will be required to fund residential soundproofing programs, including the installation of noise-dampening windows and insulation, to improve residents' quality of life. If the airport fails to soundproof enough homes, it must provide funds to local communities for noise mitigation efforts.
Key points
San Francisco International Airport must soundproof at least 200 residential buildings annually in noise-affected areas, regardless of the noise level.
The program includes installing noise-dampening windows, insulation, and other residential improvements.
If the airport fails to meet the 200-home soundproofing target per year, it must remit funds to noise-affected cities or counties.
These funds must be used for noise mitigation purposes within two fiscal years of disbursement.
