Task Force on Vehicle Sound Limits (TFVS)
Reports to GRBP

This task force was originally established as the Task Force on Sound Limits (TFSL). As of its 4th session, the group was renamed the Task Force on Vehicle Sound (TFVS). The task force has created a web page for its drafting of a report on its 2021-22 outcomes.
