[SPECIAL_EMERGENCY] Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board is reviewing potential modifications to the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) budget. These proposed changes require approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) after review by the Department of Transportation. The process involves filing amendments with the Department, which then reviews and transmits them to FHWA with a recommendation. If FHWA approves the amendment, the existing agreement and supporting documents will need to be updated. This early stage in the planning process presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage. As the UPWP budget is adjusted, it may lead to future projects related to transportation planning and infrastructure. Businesses involved in engineering, construction, and related services should consider reaching out to understand potential impacts and future needs before final plans and permits are established.
