Bill > HB06695

This bill aims to amend Chapter 242 of the state's general statutes by establishing a funding schedule to construct sound barriers for specific locations identified in the Department of Transportation's Type II Statewide Noise Analysis. A Type II Statewide Noise Analysis is typically a comprehensive study conducted by a state transportation department to identify areas experiencing significant noise pollution, often near highways or major transportation corridors. The bill's primary purpose is to provide financial resources to mitigate noise impacts in communities that have been prioritized in this analysis by constructing sound barriers, which are physical structures designed to reduce noise levels and improve quality of life for residents living near loud transportation infrastructure. By creating a dedicated funding schedule, the bill ensures that noise abatement projects can be systematically addressed and implemented in the most affected areas.
