Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

Home » Our Work

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a one-year planning document and financial plan that outlines how the Boston region will allocate its federal transportation planning funds for a given federal fiscal year (FFY) in alignment with its long-term vision, goals, and objectives. The development of the UPWP involves the prioritization of federal funding for transportation planning work, including MPO programs, studies, and technical analyses, to be implemented in a given year to support the region’s goals. The scopes and budgets of the prioritized work are documented in the UPWP.

In addition to MPO-funded work, the UPWP describes the work that staff will carry out that is funded by external grant programs and state and regional transportation agencies, such as the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).
