Plans and Programs

Unified Planning Work Program (annual workplan)
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is the Central Lane MPO's annual transportation planning work program. The UPWP identifies the planning budget and the scope of planning activities to be undertaken during the program year. The Central Lane MPO develops the UPWP in cooperation with local jurisdictions and transportation providers. This document includes a description of planning tasks and an estimated budget for each task to be undertaken by the agencies participating in the Central Lane MPO's metropolitan planning process. The UPWP also serves as a budgeting reference for planning tasks funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to meet SAFETEA-LU requirements. More…

Transportation Demand Management, or TDM, is a set of strategies, plans, and programs that influence traveler behavior for the purpose of reducing or redistributing the demand on the transportation system.

In Oregon, TDM is now called Transportation Options or TO.  There are many ways the Central Lane MPO contributes to and coordinates regional TO projects and programs. More...
