Description
In alignment with the Zero Pollution Action Plan, the European Commission is actively working towards a 30% reduction in chronic disturbances caused by transport noise. As outlined in the recent Report to the European Parliament and the Council, achieving this reduction involves various measures, including the introduction of quiet surfaces during road repaving, utilizing the Green Public Procurement guidelines.
To facilitate the understanding and implementation of low noise road surfaces, the Commission is hosting a webinar tailored for local authorities. This webinar will take place online, on 6 February 2024, from 09:00 to 15:30 (CET time zone) and aims to provide practical insights and knowledge derived from past EU-funded projects and engineered solutions.
