Abstract:By most forecasts, the U.S. population is projected to grow by over 100 million by 2050. As demand for transportation increases, transportation-related noise will also change. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) has started a national, multi-modal transportation noise mapping initiative to facilitate the tracking of trends in transportation-related noise as changes occur at an unprecedented rate. This document describes the methodology and assumptions included in the National Transportation Noise Mapping Tool (NTNMT) which produces noise inventory layers for aviation and roadway transportation sources. Future versions of the tool are envisioned to include additional transportation noise sources (e.g. rail, maritime).
