• Abstract:
  This project will provide sufficient information to the Texas Department of Transportation and the Texas Transportation Commission to make an informed decision regarding the development and implementation of a statewide Type II Noise Abatement Program. It was not the purpose or intent of the project to provide a recommendation or to propose a specific course of action. The project covers a detailed review of other states' noise abatement policies and programs for existing highways, an estimate of the magnitude of the traffic noise impact from existing highways on Texas residences, and a description of a possible Type II program, including a project prioritization system. This information can be used to decide on an existing highway noise abatement policy and, if necessary, to design a Type II program for Texas.
