UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM
2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
Public Comment Period Now Open
The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) has opened the public comment period for its 2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), September 9, 2024, through October 8, 2024. Public comments received during this period will be reported to and considered by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body (TPB), which will decide whether to approve the 2025 UPWP at their November 12, 2024, meeting.
The Unified Planning Work Program is WAMPO’s primary budgeting document for planning activities during the year (January 1-December 31). Funding for the UPWP comes from various sources, including federal Comprehensive Planning Grant (CPG) funds, which require a 20% local match (i.e., 80% federal funding, 20% local funding). The CPG/local-match expenditures in the 2025 UPWP total $2,786,495.
Paper copies of the draft 2025 UPWP may also be viewed at the WAMPO offices, 271 W. 3rd St., Suite. 208, Wichita, KS 67202, and at the Wichita Advanced Learning Library, 711 West 2nd St N, Wichita, KS 67203.
Please submit comments, questions, and concerns to wampo@wampo.org.
The purpose of the WAMPO Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is to describe the transportation planning and programming activities for the year (January 1 -December 31) and comply with the Federal Planning regulations. The WAMPO Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) not only describes the transportation-related work activities (and associated budget) during the current year but also summarizes the planning activities completed during the prior year.
