FY2013 UPWP VANrw`.® METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZAf ION MTRODUCTION The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for transportation planning identifies all activities to be undertaken in the Win -Fred Metropolitan Planning Organization study area for Fiscal Year 2013 (July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013). The UPWP provides a mechanism for the coordination of transportation planning activities in the region, and is required as a basis and condition for all federal funding assistance for transportation planning by the joint metropolitan planning regulations of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The work tasks within this UPWP are reflective of issues and concerns originating from transportation agencies at the federal, state and local levels. The descriptions of the tasks to be accomplished and the budgets for these tasks are based on a best estimate of what can be accomplished within the confines of available federal, state and local resources. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) created a number of planning requirements. In October 1993, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued final regulations regarding metropolitan planning. The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA -21), which became law in June 1998, reaffirmed the structure of the metropolitan planning process. Most of the modifications to the process were aimed at streamlining and strengthening the provisions included in ISTEA. On August 10, 2005, the latest federal legislation known as the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) was signed into law. The Win - Fred Metropolitan Planning Organization has developed this work program to address the final metropolitan planning regulations and the new requirements in SAFETEA-LU. Metropolitan Planning Area The Win -Fred MPO study area consists of the City of Winchester, the Town of Stephens City, the Urbanized Area of Frederick County, and the area of Frederick County projected to be urbanized by the year 2020. See Figure 1 for an illustration of the region. Based on the 2000 Census, the Win -Fred MPO Urbanized Area population was 53,559 and it encompasses a land area of approximately 103 sq. miles.

The Win -Fred MPO is the official Metropolitan Planning Organization for the urbanized area, designated by the Governor of Virginia, under Section 134 of the Federal Aid Highway Act, and the joint metropolitan planning regulations of FHWA and FTA. The policy making body of the Win -Fred MPO is the Policy Board that consists of 8 voting members. These include 3 representatives from the City of Winchester, 3 representatives from Frederick County, 1 representative from the Town of Stephens City, and 1 representative from VDOT. Other agencies with non-voting membership on the Win -Fred MPO Policy Board include the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Virginia Department of Aviation, Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration. The Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC) staffs the Win -Fred MPO. The staff, in conjunction with the MPO's member agencies, collect, analyze and evaluate demographic, land use, and transportation data to gain a better understanding of the transportation system requirements of the area. Special studies, research, and other work tasks requested by the MPO are the staffs responsibility as well. Consultant assistance will be sought when required by the staff to complete work tasks. Staff also prepares materials for use at the Policy Board, Technical Advisory and Citizens Advisory Committee meetings as well as any existing sub -committee meetings. NSVRC staff will participate in all Win -Fred MPO meetings and provide required staff support and administration of the transportation planning program. In addition, staff members will represent the MPO at other meetings with federal, state, and local organizations. Total Proposed Funding by Federal Source for FY 2013 The primary funding source for transportation planning activities included in this work program are the FHWA Section 112 (PL), FTA Section 5303, and FHWA State Planning and Research (SPR). The proposed funding amounts (including state and local matching funds) for the Win - Fred MPO work program to be utilized by the NSVRC staff are shown in Figure 2. Win -Fred MPO 9� FY 2013 UPWP METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION WORK TASK 1: Prograin Mfanagement & Administration Objective and Description: This task includes ongoing activities that ensure proper management and operation of a continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated (3-C) planning process as described in the Memorandum of Understanding. The primary objectives of this task are as follows: Public Participation Plan (PPP): The encouragement of meaningful participation of local citizens in metropolitan transportation planning is one of the most important goals of the "3C" process and the Public Involvement Process. The Final Rule on Metropolitan Planning issued by U.S. DOT in October 1993 reemphasizes this goal by requiring that each MPO maintain: "...a proactive public involvement process that provides complete information, timely public notice, full public access to key decisions, and supports early and continuing involvement of the public in developing plans, TIPS..." Under this task, the Win -Fred MPO will continue to maintain a Public Participation Process and monitor its effectiveness. The Public Participation Plan outlines the public outreach procedures to be followed by the MPO in developing and amending the Region's UPWP, Long-range Transportation Plan, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and other major studies. The PPP will also address Title VI and ADA issues as well. The Citizens Advisory Committee meets on a periodic basis to review and provide feedback to the Win -Fred MPO Technical Advisory Committee and Policy Board. The Citizens Advisory Committee will also conduct outreach activities such as public meetings and forums, neighborhood and association meetings, and other means to seek input from other agencies, organizations, and individuals interested in the transportation planning process, plans being prepared, or other transportation concerns. The MPO staff supports the work of the Citizens Advisory Committee. The concept of Environmental Justice has raised questions regarding equity and the inclusion of all individuals in the decision making process. The PPP will include procedures developed by the Win -Fred MPO to address environmental justice. Efforts will be made to better identify organizations and individuals not normally included in the transportation planning process on a continuing basis. This task will provide a continuing public involvement process that increases participation by community members in transportation plans, with a particular focus on improving participation by groups not previously involved in the transportation planning process. UPWP Preparation and Management: Implement the FY 2013 UPWP throughout the fiscal year and provide all required administrative functions including all accounting functions, personnel administration, office management, financial reporting, and contract administration. To meet the requirements of 23 CFR Part 420 and 23 CFR Part 450, the Win -Fred MPO, in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia Department of Rail Win -Fred MPO 10`"j'_ FY2013 UPWP WIN!iii&FRED METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION and Public Transportation, is responsible for the development of a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The UPWP describes all regional transportation planning activities anticipated in the Win -Fred MPO study area for the following fiscal year that will utilize federal funding, including Title I Section 134 metropolitan planning funds, and Title III Section 8 metropolitan planning funds. The UPWP also identifies state and local matching dollars for these federal planning programs. This task provides for management of the FY 2013 UPWP including the following activities: • Maintain all required financial records and conduct annual independent audit • Hire and train staff • Maintain required files and records of MPO activities (i.e. minutes, meeting notices, etc.) • Preparation of quarterly progress reports and invoices • Preparation of required legal notices and advertisements • Preparation of resolutions adopted by MPO • Preparation of required grant applications and execution of contracts If during FY 2013, an amendment to the UPWP is deemed necessary, due to changes in planning priorities and/or the inclusion of new planning projects, staff will identify and detail such amendments for consideration by the MPO. This task also provides for the development of the upcoming UPWP for FY 2014. The document will incorporate suggestions from federal funding agencies, state transportation agencies, transit operating agencies, local governments participating in Win -Fred MPO, and the public through the MPO's public involvement process. General Administration: Support the activities of the Win -Fred MPO through the preparation of reports, presentations, agendas, minutes and mailings for all Policy Board, Technical and Citizens Advisory Committee meetings, as well as attendance at those meetings: • Meeting arrangements for Board/Committees: Policy Board — 3`d Wednesday of Month, Technical Advisory Committee — 1 st Tuesday of Month, Citizens Advisory Committee — 2nd Tuesday of Month • Preparation and transmittal of meeting agenda packages • Transcribe and publish minutes • Staff attendance at MPO committee meetings and regional meetings as directed • Provide on-going training and development of staff and Board/Committee members E Attend training seminars and conferences Coordination meetings with state and federal agencies Circulate training opportunities to committee members Prepare grant applications and administer grant funds Prepare consultant requests for proposals and manage consultant activities Products: MPO staff support, detailed records documenting activities of the MPO including minutes for all committee meetings, preparation and submission of required progress reports and invoices to all federal and state agencies, detailed financial records, and a well-trained and informed MPO staff, Policy Board and Technical and Citizens Advisory Committee members.
