The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and related budget is a statement/scope of work identifying the planning priorities and activities to be carried out within the metropolitan planning area. The FY 2024/25 - FY 2025/26 UPWP/budget covers two years starting on July 1, 2024 and ending on June 30, 2026. In addition to the Transportation Improvement Program and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the UPWP is required to maintain MPO Federal and State certifications. The FY 2024/25 - FY 2025/26 UPWP was approved by the MPO Board on May 9, 2024.

Since the FY 2024/25 - FY 2025/26 UPWP became effective on July 1, 2024, many activities have begun and many anticipated agreements have been approved by the Board. In addition, as customary throughout a budget cycle, funds are shifted and moved among UPWP tasks to ensure the efficient utilization of available funds. Modification 1 and Amendment 1 (found here under "Current UPWP Documents": https://browardmpo.org/core-products/unified-planning-work-program-upwp-budget) show adjustments made to the FY 2024/25 - FY 2025/26 UPWP budget. Modification 1 moved $33,000 in Task 3.0 from salaries to consultant activities for the Smart/Regional Digital Twin to allow for the completion of outreach activities. Amendment 1 made adjustments for an increase in PL funding, allocated additional funding for administrative items and new projects, reduced the amount of 5305(d) funding reflect the actual amount available, and added $150,000 for a Resiliency Feasability Project in Task 4.0, among other things. For additional details, please see the Modification 1 and Amendment 1 backup materials listed under the "Current UPWP Documents" at the link provided above.
