Abstract:

This report examines the feasibility and reasonableness factors in the FHWA noise regulation (23 CFR 772) as implemented in the individual state highway agency noise policies. The first part of the report studies these factors: • Feasibility: noise reduction and quantity of impacted receptors achieving that reduction • Reasonableness: benefited noise reduction; noise reduction design goal and quantity of benefited receptors achieving that goal; cost effectiveness (allowable cost or barrier area per benefited receptor) The analysis examines how changes in the permissible ranges for each factor – while the others factors remain static – affect noise abatement decisions. Also examined is how changes to multiple factors in combination affect decisions. The range in potential decisions based on the combinations permitted under the regulation is examined to provide an aid for future policy guidance and planning. A sensitivity analysis on the factors identifies outcomes of possible combinations of factors. Actual highway projects are also used to identify the effects on the likelihood of abatement. The last part of this report analyzes how state highway agencies address the consideration of viewpoints reasonableness criterion in 23 CFR 772. Reported under separate cover is the development of tools to evaluate the effects of policy changes on abatement feasibility and reasonableness
