Congresswoman Eshoo On: Those Noisy Airplanes Overhead

Submitted to 18th Congressional District constituents from the Office of Congresswoman Anna G. Eshoo:

Dear Friend,

Many constituents have been reporting to me the increase of aircraft noise caused by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) new flight paths into San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and how they are being affected.

As we work to resolve this issue, I first and foremost encourage you to report any excessive aircraft noise complaints to the SFO Noise Abatement Office. This is very important. Your call will become part of the official record and official documentation. You can reach the Noise Abatement Office at (650) 821-4736, or via email at sfo.noise@flysfo.com.

I would also like to hear from you and here’s why.

I met with FAA Administrator Michael Huerta in May regarding the troubling increase in airplane noise across my Congressional District, including communities in San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. I raised the concerns of the many constituents I’ve met with in my Palo Alto office with the Administrator, and he agreed to reexamine flight altitudes passing over our region. He also agreed to have the FAA Regional Administrator hold a meeting with select community representatives in the near future. If we can bring the testimony of the people of the 18th Congressional District affected by this problem to the FAA, it will help demonstrate how urgent it is for the agency to address them.

I ask you to please respond to the survey and consider passing it along to others in your community. Your concerns must be heard by the FAA in order for them to make the necessary changes to bring relief to my constituents.

Thank you in advance for your important participation.

Most gratefully,

Anna G. Eshoo
