Aviation Noise and Emissions Mitigation Act

Improved Data for Communities: The research program aims to use technology that allows for the tracing of noise and emissions to specific sources, helping communities better understand the primary contributors to their local environment (Section 2(a), 2(b)(1)).

Targeted Neighborhood Information: The program will produce data at the neighborhood and ZIP Code level to identify and predict the impact of noise and emissions on specific areas (Section 2(b)(3)).

Direct Mitigation of Noise and Environmental Impacts: Funding can be used for noise mitigation packages, such as weatherization, retrofitting, or energy efficiency upgrades for households and schools (Section 3(b)(4)(A)).

Public Health Improvements: The bill allows for health care services and public health interventions to address the impacts of airport noise and pollution on health and quality of life, specifically for vulnerable populations and children (Section 3(b)(4)(C)).

Support for Disadvantaged Communities: The mitigation program prioritizes communities that are disproportionately impacted, disadvantaged, or have a higher prevalence of diseases associated with environmental exposures (Section 3(b)(1)).
