Open for Public Review: FY 2011 Work Program and Budget for Transportation Planning

BALTIMORE (February 26, 2010) - Each year the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) develops a work program for the coming fiscal year. This program, known as the UPWP, or Unified Planning Work Program, identifies activities to be completed by BMC staff on behalf of the BRTB as well as local and state agencies. The public is invited to review and comment on the draft of the UPWP for Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011) from now through Friday, March 26, 2010.

The UPWP focuses on issues such as:

  • Planning for air quality due to the region's non-attainment status
  • Coordination of planning activities to support public transit
  • Systems to monitor and evaluate congestion, improve safety, and increase efficiency
  • Transportation needs of the elderly, individuals with disabilities and low-income residents:
  • Bicycle and pedestrian access and safety:

The complete draft of the FY 2011 UPWP is available online in PDF format at http://www.baltometro.org/transportation-planning/annual-work-program-and-budget-fy-2011-upwp. Interested parties may also view a print version at the Regional Information Center, located in BMC's offices at 2700 Lighthouse Point East in the Canton area of Baltimore.
