Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is the MPO’s work plan and budget which identifies the planning budget and tasks the MPO will perform over two State Fiscal years. The UPWP is funded by a combination of Federal Highway and Federal Transit Administration planning funds and identifies the planning priorities and activities to be carried out with our MPO area. The plan includes a description of the planning work and resulting products, identifies who will perform the work, timeframes for completion, costs and source of funding.

While the Hernando/Citrus MPO, in cooperation with FDOT, is the agency with direct responsibility for developing the UPWP document and with administering the planning program, other local agencies and governments are continually involved in this effort. Coordination occurs through the MPO's Technical Advisory and Citizens Advisory committees, by providing input on planning tasks and assisting with review and comment regarding the document's contents. Public input is also sought during the development of the UPWP.
