Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

Every two years, Metroplan puts together the Unified Planning Work Program—UPWP for short. It’s basically the game plan for transportation planning in Central Arkansas. The UPWP spells out what Metroplan, the Arkansas Department of Transportation, and Rock Region METRO plan to work on over the next two federal fiscal years. It connects the dots between our long-range transportation vision and the projects in the Transportation Improvement Program, and it also shows the budget—where the money’s coming from and how it’ll be spent to get the job done.
