1996 Amendment to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region

In July 1996, the Puget Sound Regional Council General Assembly adopted an amendment to the 1995 Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region, with updates taking effect August 2, 1996. The amendment includes key changes related to aviation, notably the addition of a new Appendix G outlining air transportation noise reduction measures and the steps for implementing and monitoring them. These changes, which required a formal Port of Seattle resolution to activate, were set to be fully incorporated into the updated Metropolitan Transportation Plan in 1998.
