Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a document that outlines transportation planning activities a regional planning agency will undertake over a specific period, typically a year. It details the projects, studies, and initiatives focused on improving transportation systems, such as roads, transit, and bike paths. The UPWP ensures funding is allocated efficiently and that planning aligns with community needs and regional goals. It also promotes coordination among local jurisdictions, state agencies, and federal partners to foster sustainable, safe, and effective transportation solutions.
