The Planning Division is presenting information regarding the Billings Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) document.  Staff will provide background information regarding the MPO and the importance and need of having the UPWP. 
 
 

The UPWP is primarily for the purpose of programming the federal dollars Billings receives from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for transportation planning. These funds are passed through the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). However, all planning activities are included in the UPWP so that it represents a comprehensive document of the urban transportation planning program. The UPWP corresponds directly with the Planning Division’s annual work plan.  The UPWP proposes planning activities for each Federal Fiscal Year which runs from October 1 through September 30.
