OverviewOverview

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) contains the planning tasks and associated grant budget for the two (2) year period beginning July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2012 (FY 2010/11 – 2011/12).

While the TPO adopted a two year UPWP, there is a need to amend the document annually to accurately reflect funding for the second year – FY 2011/12. In preparing the UPWP in Winter/Spring of 2010, FY 2011/12 numbers are based on an estimation of available funding.

UPWP Amendments

OverviewOverview

Several new projects have been identified for FY 2011/12.

The UPWP also contains many resolutions, policy statements and certifications per State and Federal requirements – several of these documents must be approved annually.
