Unified Planning Work Program - UPWP
The purpose of this Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is to describe all metropolitan transportation and transportation-related planning activities anticipated within the region during the year and to serve as a basis for federal funding assistance for transportation planning to state, local and regional agencies.
Current Unified Planning Work Program for 2025-26
The type of work specified within this UPWP includes a summary of administrative, technical and transportation planning tasks to be performed by the WJCTC staff that will cover the period from April 1, 2025 thru March 31, 2026 (12 Months). The tasks detailed in this document will be conducted by staff working in the NYSDOT Region 7 Office of Planning and Program Management in Watertown, from Council members and their respective agencies, and from work carried out under contract with a consultant. The necessary funds that allow the Council to pursue the tasks listed in the UPWP are provided by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration.
The draft UPWP is now out for 30 day public review. There are two links below. One will allow you the view the draft UPWP, the other will allow you to leave a comment. The public review period will end on February 28th.
The WJCTC is currently conducting a Resiliency Study. This study will recommend ways to improve the "resiliency" of transportation systems within the WJCTC service area, which means the ability to withstand and/or recover quickly from extreme events.
