Bill overview
This bill creates a program to fund the construction and maintenance of noise abatement measures along state trunk line highways, particularly in areas without existing protections. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will administer this program, offering grants or loans to local road authorities for projects like sound walls or pavement texturing designed to reduce highway noise. The bill outlines a review process for applications, requiring MDOT to evaluate projects based on criteria such as cost-effectiveness and noise reduction potential, and mandates reporting on program utilization to the legislature.
