Abstract

Over the past year and one‐half, the Federal program for transportation noise control has undergone a number of changes, both in direct and overall policy. Transportation noise control remains an important priority, especially since public reaction to transportation noise severely constrains the efficient growth of a national transportation system needed to meet forecast demands for the movement of people and goods. In some cases, noise is forcing reductions in system capacity, directly in the face of demands for system expansion. This paper will review recent changes in Federal noise control programs and policies, and will attempt a brave look into the future of those activities.
