Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the major commercial airports, and several regional planning agencies will attend the Forums to provide information about airport operations and how Bay Area airspace is managed. The focus of the forums will be on noise associated with the three major commercial airports-San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. These particular meetings will not address noise associated with the region's smaller general aviation airports.
The meetings are sponsored by the Regional Airport Planning Committee (RAPC), a joint planning committee of the Association of Bay Area Governments, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. RAPC has no authority over aircraft noise, but is hosting these meetings to provide a forum where the public's concerns can be aired and directed to the agencies that share this responsibility.
