Port of Portland schedules

PORTLAND — Members of the Portland International Airport Citizen Noise Advisory Committee will hear the status of the PDX Fly Quiet program May 8, and will discuss the potential for a Fly Quiet Subcommittee to help with program development and reporting. Jason Schwartz, Port of Portland noise management manager, will provide an update on the program and the role of the team hired to help the Port Noise Management Department finalize and implement the program. The 15-member committee meets from 6-8 p.m. at the airport, 7000 NE Airport Way, in the St. Helens conference room. Committee meetings are open to the public, and include time for public comment. The committee is the port’s official forum for working with the public on issues related to aircraft noise. Representatives come from across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington. Eleven members are appointed by various city and county jurisdictions, and four representatives are appointed by the Port to help maintain geographic diversity on the committee. Technical assistance is provided by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Oregon Air National Guard. People with special needs attending the meeting are asked to contact the port for accommodations at 503-460-4073. PDX is wheelchair accessible and located just off the TriMet MAX light rail Red Line. Validated parking is also available.
