Abstract

Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) has been involved in a highway noise R&D and implementation program to quieten the provincial freeway system in residential neighborhoods. The program primarily involves noise barriers and pavement, because these two items are within provincial control. (The federal government regulates new vehicle noise.) The barrier construction program now has a $7.5m budget, making it probably the largest Canadian noise control program.
