Public Can Comment On Polices For FAA, LA Metro and LA City Starting This Week

FAA’s Flight Noise Policy, LA Metro Budget, and LA City Budget Public Comment Begins

By Dolores Quintana

You have the opportunity to weigh in on three different and very important matters. First, The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be taking public comments on their flight noise policy. Here are the instructions on how to make sure your voice is heard:

The FAA has opened its public comment period for the review of its aircraft noise policy. Along with soliciting public input, the agency is organizing a series of virtual seminars on the topic. 

These webinars will take place:

Questions can be submitted using the platform’s chat feature for those watching on YouTube.
You can comment on the Los Angeles City Budget for 2023 to 2024 on Wednesday, May 17 by calling 1 (669) 254-5252 and entering Meeting ID No. 160 535 8466, followed by the # key according to CD 11 Councilmember Park’s newsletter. You can read the entire budget here or take a look at the budget summary here. Mayor Bass’ proposed budget is $13 billion dollars for the upcoming year. You can submit written comments here

Finally, you can comment on the proposed LA Metro Budget on Wednesday, May 17th, at 1:30 p.m. during a meeting to gather feedback on the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024. The meeting will take place in person in the board room on the third floor of Metro headquarters, at 1 Gateway Plaza, located adjacent to Union Station. For those who cannot attend in person, the hearing will be live-streamed, and a link to the stream will appear on the Metro website when the hearing begins.

The public hearing is an opportunity for community members to provide input on the budget before it goes to a vote at the Metro Board meeting on May 25th. You can find the instructions on how to leave public comments by phone here or send written comments via email to boardclerk@metro.net.
