The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) guides MPO planning activities for the fiscal year and identifies a program of work for reimbursement through annual planning grants received from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transportation Administration (FTA). From time to time, amendments are required to add or remove funding and/or shift resources between work task codes. FY24 UPWP Amendment 1 is needed to reallocate funding to two new tasks to begin work on the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and to evaluate whether microtransit service is a feasible delivery option for CARTS. No increase in funding is being requested.
