Aviation Noise and Emissions Mitigation Act: Cleaner Air, Quieter Communities
This act aims to improve the quality of life for residents near airports and flight paths. Through new research programs and grants, the government will monitor noise and pollution, then support local communities in reducing their impact, potentially leading to a healthier environment and less noise in your area.
Key points
Noise and Emissions Research: Programs will be established to accurately measure noise and emissions (including exhaust) from aircraft and airports, identifying their sources and most affected areas.
Community Support: Local organizations and governments will receive funds for activities to reduce the impact of noise and emissions, such as home improvements (e.g., better insulation), health, and educational programs.
Priority for Vulnerable Communities: Assistance will primarily target communities most affected by negative noise and emission impacts, including low-income families and areas with health issues.
