FY27 UPWP
The CSPDC Policy Board approved releasing the Draft FY27 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for a 14-day public comment period through April 29, 2026. Review the draft FY27 UPWP here. The Policy Board will consider final approval of the FY27 UPWP at the June 17, 2026 Board meeting.
The UPWP is the SAWMPO’s annual work plan and budget. The document details the upcoming fiscal year administrative and planning activities, and the federal, state, and local budget funding. VDOT and DRPT provide the MPO with annual planning funding every spring. FY26 work focused on completing the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). In FY27, MPO work will focus on developing a small area study along the Frontier Drive corridor in the City of Staunton and Augusta County, Greenville area transportation planning assistance for Augusta County, bicycle and pedestrian-planning assistance for the Cities of Waynesboro and Staunton, and updating the SAWMPO regional travel demand model.
FY27-30 TIP
The CSPDC Policy Board approved releasing the Draft FY27-30 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for a 14-day public comment period through April 29, 2026. Review the draft FY27 UPWP here. The Policy Board conditionally approved the document at the April 15, 2026 Board meeting pending no substantial public comments.
The SAWMPO TIP documents all transportation and transit projects receiving federal transportation funding, requiring federal action, or designated “regionally significant” if a project impacts arterial roadways. Federal regulations require that the SAWMPO update the MPO TIP every four years. The current FY24-27 TIP concludes on September 30 and the SAWMPO must approve a new FY27-30 TIP by April 30. The FY27-30 TIP will take effect on October 1.
