PLANNING DOCUMENTS

HAMPO develops and maintains three planning documents in accordance with the continuous, cooperative and comprehensive planning process detailed in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, Public Law No. 114-94. The Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the Transportation Improvement Program and the Unified Planning Work Program are the transportation planning HAMPO documents needed to meet Federal and State standards for Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

HAMPO’s Metropolitan Planning Area defines the area we are responsible for:

Unified Planning Work Program

The purpose of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is to describe the planning priorities of the metropolitan planning area and all planning activities anticipated during the next one year period, including expected costs for such activities. The UPWP is updated annually and aligns with the State’s fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30.

An administrative modification was performed on July 5, 2022 to update and balance FY 2024 and FY 2025 5303 budget amounts to satisfy MPO federal funding allocation. Changes in total federal, state, and local amounts for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 are shown in the summary budget table on page 66. The administratively modified document can be viewed below:

The FY 2024 UPWP was approved and adopted by the HAMPO Policy Committee on April 13, 2023. The UPWP document can be viewed below:

Metropolitan Transportation Plan

The goal of the MTP is to create an effective public policy framework for mobility and development together with a set of priority transportation investments that will address the area’s current and long-term needs. The projects that are selected as priorities for the transportation network will be programmed into the Statewide TIP for funding.  The plan must comply with Federal guidelines as outlined in the FAST Act, and previously MAP-21 and is updated every 5 years.

The 2020-2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) has been approved by the HAMPO Policy Committee on September 10, 2020. An administrative modification was added to the MTP on December 10, 2020 to include updated performance management measures and targets.
