This grant is for the purpose of supporting the 2012 Moving Forward for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) framework, which guides collaborative efforts between the National Park Service and Federal Aviation Administration. Its primary objective is to develop incentives for Grand Canyon air tour operators to adopt quiet technology aircraft, ensuring noise reduction without increasing overall park sound levels. The project involves gathering and analyzing critical data to inform effective overflights management planning. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve and preserve the unique wilderness character of Grand Canyon National Park, providing substantial environmental and recreational benefits to the public both within and beyond the park’s borders.
