You are invited to participate in the development of the next Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The timeline to the right includes important documents and upcoming milestones, meetings, and events.
Process
September to January: Gather ideas about possible studies from MPO staff, member municipalities, and the public
January to April: Analyze, evaluate, and select studies based on criteria and factors such as regional relevance, links to other MPO research, probability of implementation, rootedness in Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) values, and funding constraints
May to June: Incorporate feedback from MPO members, municipalities, the Regional Transportation Advisory Council, the public, and staff, and agree on a final list of studies for federal funding
July: Receive public comment on a draft document containing studies and other MPO budget priorities
Early August: Receive final endorsement by the MPO board
Late summer: Receive approval from our federal partners
To review this year’s UPWP development process and relevant documents, see the timeline to the right of this page. Future meeting dates are tentative; please confirm meeting times on the MPO Meeting Calendar.
