The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is the document that identifies major transportation planning related activities that will be undertaken within the Bryan/College Station Metropolitan Area during the fiscal year. It is updated every two years and covers the next two fiscal years, with the fiscal year beginning October 1st.  View the original version of the UPWP, the FY 2022-2023 Unified Planning Work Program (pdf) here. Major tasks include assistance to Brazos Transit District in planning and programming, completion of the Public Participation Procedures and Limited English Proficiency Plan, working with TxDOT on a transportation resiliency plan, review of regional access management standards and continued participation in the Texas Innovation Alliance.

The FY 2022-2023 Unified Planning Work Program Amendment One was approved by the Policy Board on September 7, 2022.  Amendment One updates funding tables in FY 2023 to reflect increased costs for salaries and benefits. It also includes the addition of a new planning task called “Complete Streets Planning Activities” as required by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law in November of 2021.

The Draft FY 2024-2025 Unified Planning Work Program is open for public comment until September 5, 2023.  Major tasks included in the UPWP include a major update to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and annual measurements, and continued participation in the Texas Innovation Alliance.
