Quiet STREETS

Addressing sources of loud noise

As noise and emissions from cars, motorcycles, and trucks continue to increase in neighborhoods nationwide, so does the need to advocate for quieter, healthier, livable streets.  

Everyone deserves quiet

The Quiet Streets program brings stakeholders together to tackle excessive vehicle noise and pollution. Restrictions on vehicle speed, limited access to through traffic, enforcement of laws on illegal exhaust modifications and effective urban planning that prioritizes pedestrian-friendly environments and green spaces, are just some of the ways to make neighborhoods more livable. 

A quieter community is up to you!

Take action:

  • Get organized

  • Enlist public officials and the media

  • Be persistent: You can reduce the noise!
