Community Outreach Vehicle
| |
The purpose of the Community Outreach Vehicle (COV) is to address public concerns and to promote the initiatives of the Chicago Airport System and the Midway and O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission at community events, festivals, schools, and
libraries. Video presentations and computer demonstrations of the Airport Noise Management System will be provided. The COV is powered by compressed natural
gas and is equipped with an ADA compliant automatic hydraulic wheelchair lift.
The COV is also used as a learning tool. It will travel to schools located within the City of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs to discuss noise retrieval procedures, data collection, and aviation career possibilities. A portable noise monitor will
also be brought so that students can visualize noise levels of various events.
Anyone interested in having the COV visit their neighborhood or school is invited to contact Maria Gutierrez at the Department of Aviation (Phone: 773-894-5491, E-Mail: megutierrez@cityofchicago.org)
or their City or Village Hall. |
