Article 7. Unified Planning Work Program
A. Each year the MPO shall submit to the Department a program of work that includes
goals, objectives, and tasks required by each of the several agencies involved in the
metropolitan transportation planning process. This program of work is to be called the
Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), or any successor name. The UPWP shall be
approved by the MPO Policy Committee, in accordance with 23 CFR §450.314.
B. The UPWP will be prepared for a period of one (1) year or two (2) years unless
otherwise agreed to by the Department and the MPO. The UPWP shall reflect only that
work that can be accomplished during the time period of the UPWP, in accordance with
TAC §16.52.
C. The UPWP shall reflect transportation planning work tasks to be funded by federal,
state, or local transportation, or transportation related (e.g. air quality) planning funds.
The budget and statement of work will be included in the UPWP. The MPO may not
incur costs until final approval of the UPWP is granted. The maximum amount payable
will not exceed the budget included in the UPWP.

within its boundaries, then those activities may be undertaken using federal planning
funds, if the activities are specifically identified in an approved UPWP. Any other costs

incurred for transportation planning activities outside the boundaries of a designated
metropolitan planning area are not eligible for reimbursement.
G. Travel outside the State of Texas by MPO staff and other agencies participating in the
MPO planning process must be approved by the Department if funded with federal
transportation planning funds. The MPO must receive approval prior to incurring any
costs associated with the actual travel (e.g., registration fee). This provision will not
apply if the travel is at the request of the Department. Travel to the State of Arkansas
by the Texarkana MPO staff and travel to the State of New Mexico by the El Paso MPO
staff shall be considered in-state travel.
H. The cost of travel incurred by elected officials serving on the MPO Policy Committee is
eligible for reimbursement with federal transportation planning funds in accordance with
43 TAC §16.52.
I. The use of federal transportation planning funds is limited to corridor/subarea level
planning or multimodal or system-wide transit planning studies. Major investment
studies and environmental studies are considered corridor level planning. Unless
otherwise authorized by federal law or regulation, the use of such funds beyond
environmental document preparation or for specific project level planning and
engineering (efforts directly related to a specific project instead of a corridor) is not
allowed.
J. Failure to adhere to the time line developed by the Department may result in a delay in
the authorization to the MPOs to proceed in incurring costs.

be submitted electronically.
L. The MPO shall not incur any costs for work outlined in the UPWP or any subsequent
amendments (i.e., adding new work tasks or changing the scope of existing work tasks)
prior to receiving approval from the Department. Any costs incurred prior to receiving
Department approval are not eligible for reimbursement from federal transportation
planning funds.
M. Costs incurred by the MPO shall not exceed the total budgeted amount of the UPWP
without prior approval of the MPO Policy Committee and the Department. Costs
incurred on individual work tasks shall not exceed that task budget by 25 percent
without prior approval of the MPO Policy Committee and the Department. If the costs
exceed 25 percent of the task budget, the UPWP shall be revised, approved by the
MPO Policy Committee, and submitted to the Department for approval.
N. The MPO Policy Committee must approve the UPWP and any subsequent revisions,
and shall not delegate the approval authority, except for corrective actions. Corrective
actions do not change the scope of work, result in an increase or decrease in the
amount of task funding, or affect the overall budget. Examples include typographical,
grammatical, or syntax corrections.
O. Should any conflict be discovered between the terms of this Agreement and the UPWP,
the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
P. The MPO is not authorized to request payment for any work it may perform that is not

time throughout the fiscal year. If the amount in the UPWP differs from the amount in
the work order, the amount in the work order prevails.
E. The MPO is authorized to submit requests for payment of authorized costs incurred
under this Agreement on a semi-monthly basis, but no more than twenty four (24) times

audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcriptions.
D. The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds
from the Department directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract
under this Agreement. Acceptance of funds directly under this Agreement or indirectly
