2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) Transportation Policy Body (TPB) approved the 2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) at their meeting on November 12, 2024. The TPB approved Amendment 1 to the 2025 UPWP on July 8, 2025.
The UPWP describes what planning activities WAMPO staff and consultants will undertake, and how federal planning funds allocated to WAMPO will be used during the year (January 1-December 31). A UPWP serves several purposes, including defining the planning scope, budgeting and funding, scheduling, coordination, public involvement, and compliance. The UPWP is a crucial document for guiding and managing the transportation planning process within a metropolitan area, ensuring that resources are used effectively and that planning efforts are coordinated and transparent.
Paper copies of the 2025 UPWP may also be viewed by request 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.
