Title
FY2024 Draft Unified Planning Work Program (10 minutes)
David Miller, LPA Staff
Narrative
The DCHC MPO is required by federal regulations to prepare an annual Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) that details and guides the urban area transportation planning activities. Funding for the UPWP is provided by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. The UPWP must identify MPO planning tasks to be performed with the use of federal transportation funds.
Several changes have been made to the document between the draft presentation and its current form, which include:
- Addition of budget tables for both FTA Section 5303 funds, and Consultant Studies and New Initiatives
- Condensed task codes for III-D: Statewide & Extra-Regional Planning, and III-E: Board Support, Member Services and Administration, to align with MPO's Prospectus
- Information regarding the MPO's Safe Streets and Roads for All grant award and the project's forthcoming Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP)
- Addition of MPO organizational chart
- Addition of Appendix H for future amendments and associated resolutions
The Draft UPWP was reviewed by the Board and released for public comment at their February 8, 2023 meeting, and a public hearing was held at the March 8, 2023 Board meeting. No public comments were received during this time. The TC recommended that the Board approve the plan at their April 12, 2023 meeting.
