AI Summary

This bill directs the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to conduct a comprehensive sound study along the Red Line extension in Quincy and Braintree, Massachusetts. The study will determine the ambient noise level and identify areas where the decibel level generated by the Red Line trains exceeds the ambient level by ten or more decibels. The MBTA is then ordered to install sound barriers in those residential areas to mitigate the noise pollution problems. The design of the sound barriers must be approved by an acoustical engineer and the local Boards of Health after a public hearing process.
