Bureau of Transportation Statistics National Transportation Noise Map Documentation — Version 3, Release Year: 2026
By most forecasts, the U.S. population is projected to grow by over 100 million by 2050. As demand for transportation increases and our methods of transportation change and evolve, so too will transportation-related noise. 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 over time.
;
This document describes the methodology and assumptions included in the National Transportation Noise Map (NTNM) which consists of noise inventory layers for aviation, roadway, passenger and freight rail transportation sources. Future versions are envisioned to include additional transportation noise sources as transportation modes and trends evolve and data sources mature.
By most forecasts, the U.S. population is projected to grow by over 100 million by 2050. As demand for transportation increases, transportation-relate
