Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a one-year budget and planning document that lists the research projects, technical assistance, and other activities the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) staff will undertake over the next federal fiscal year (FFY). These projects provide insight and recommendations to our municipal and regional partners, generate new data, and help shape concepts for the region’s transportation future.

At the MPO meeting on August 5, 2021, the board voted to release draft Amendment One (PDF) (HTML) to the FFY 2021 UPWP for a 21-day public review period. Amendment One reflects annual fourth-quarter adjustments to certain tasks within the UPWP and is net neutral for the overall budget. Federal Highway Administration guidance requires that any change of 10 percent or more to a budget line must be a formal amendment. For more information, refer to the Draft Amendment One.

The 21-day public comment period for UPWP Amendment One begins August 5, 2021, and extends until 5:00 PM on August 25, 2021. The MPO is expected to vote to approve Amendment One on September 2, 2021.
