The UPWP is a federally required document that describes how the federal planning funds allocated to the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) will be used and what planning activities the MPO staff and its consultants will undertake during the upcoming program year. This document also describes the MPO accomplishments from the current year. Approval of this 2020 UPWP by the end of 2019 is needed in order to avoid a disruption in the use of federal funds by the MPO.
The official 30-day comment period for this Draft 2020 UPWP will start on October 12, 2019 and will end on November 10, 2019. This UPWP will come before the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization for approval at their November 21, 2019 meeting. Public Comments received will be reported and considered by the MPO Policy Board where decisions pertaining to revision of this document will be made prior to final approval.
