FORT WORTH, TX – The Fort Worth Police Department and Public Improvement District #1 (PID #1) have announced a new plan to address the issue of excessive vehicle noise downtown. The initiative, in partnership with Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., will focus on deliberate engine revving, modified exhausts, and overly loud sound systems to ensure a more peaceful environment for residents, businesses, and visitors.
The plan combines public awareness, enhanced enforcement, and deterrence strategies to maintain a positive and respectful downtown atmosphere.

Our focus is specifically targeted to educate people about the issue and discourage intentional, excessive noise.”…
