Alaska Airlines has outlined a sustainability roadmap targeting net zero carbon emissions by 2040, using a five-step approach that includes improving operational efficiency, introducing newer Boeing 737 aircraft, scaling up Sustainable Aviation Fuel, transitioning to electrified or hybrid regional fleets, and using carbon offsets only as a last resort. The airline also aims to become the most fuel-efficient U.S. carrier, reduce ground equipment emissions by 50% by 2025, and cut onboard waste and water use. Employee performance-based pay is partially tied to carbon efficiency metrics, reflecting a company-wide commitment to environmental goals.

The StART Federal Policy Working Group met on September 19, 2022, to receive a briefing on the history and limitations of the FAA's 65 DNL aircraft noise standard, which new surveys suggest may significantly underestimate the share of people highly annoyed by airport noise. The group also received updates on federal funding opportunities under the Infrastructure Bill and Inflation Reduction Act, and reviewed a draft 2023 FAA Reauthorization Priorities Letter urging the FAA to revisit its noise policies. Members discussed plans for a joint trip to Washington, D.C. to personally advocate for updated noise standards with congressional leaders.

In August 2022, community advocate David Goebel filed a written public comment objecting to the Port of Seattle's switch from standard Zoom meetings to a restricted 'Webinar Panelist' format for its SeaTac Airport Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) meetings. Under the new format, members of the public are invisible 'observers' with no chat access, and can only speak for two minutes when their microphone is briefly enabled by the facilitator. Goebel argues this change fundamentally reduces transparency and genuine public engagement compared to the previous format, where all participants—including the public—were visible to meeting members.
