Unified Planning Work Program

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a document used by local and regional government agencies to outline planning activities for transportation projects over a specific period, usually a year. It details what studies, data collection, and public outreach will be conducted, along with how funding will be allocated. The UPWP ensures that all transportation planning is coordinated and meets federal, state, and local requirements. It involves input from stakeholders, including the public, and helps ensure that transportation systems are efficient, effective, and responsive to community needs.
