    Draft state legislative agenda for 2019

    The Port of Seattle's draft 2019 state legislative agenda outlines priority policy areas including support for a clean fuels standard to reduce emissions from port operations, workforce development in maritime and industrial sectors, and improved transportation access to Sea-Tac Airport via State Route 518 and the Puget Sound Gateway program.

    Draft federal legislative agenda for 2019

    This November 2018 Port of Seattle briefing memo outlines the draft federal legislative priorities for 2019, covering aviation, maritime, and trade policy goals. On airport community issues, the Port seeks to increase FAA responsibility for engaging with residents affected by overflight noise, expedite hiring of a regional noise ombudsman, and participate in a federally funded study examining the health impacts of aircraft noise on Seattle-area communities. The agenda also addresses related concerns such as air quality, sustainable aviation fuel, and passenger facility funding.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged.

The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
