Proposed Amendment of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

Proposed Amendment of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

The Heartland Regional Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) is seeking comments from the public on an amendment to the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for Fiscal Years 2024/25 – 2025/26. The UPWP describes the transportation planning projects to be performed within the HRTPO area and includes the following components:

  • Summary of planning tasks to be completed by the HRTPO
  • Definition of work products and a timeline for major activities
  • Budget proposal using federal and other funds for planning
  • Estimate of cost for each task

The adopted UPWP forms the basis for federal and state transportation planning funds to be awarded through agreements or grants to the HRTPO.

The UPWP is a biennial document covering two budget years. The HRTPO coordinates with the FDOT District to determine the necessary revisions.
