The UPWP describes detailed transportation planning activities.  The document outlines the technical and policy studies that will assist in further defining the comprehensive and multi-modal transportation improvement program approved for the area.
Federal regulations require the development of Unified Planning Work Programs in metropolitan areas, as part of the transportation planning process. Specifically, the regulations require MPOs to cooperate with the state and publicly owned transit service operators to develop such programs. 
The MPO develops and implements the UPWP. This document includes all transportation planning activities undertaken at any given year, supporting future transportation projects that will eventually be incorporated into the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). 
UPWP includes highway, transit, financial, and special technical studies; policy studies and community involvement; urban travel modeling and forecasting; program administration; technical support; and data surveillance. 
The last five year's Unified Planning Work Program can be found in the download section.
