body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Attached is Resolution 2024-3 to adopt the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026 (Fiscal Year 2025 through Fiscal Year 2026). Additionally, attached as provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), is the associated Planning Agreement #G2V07 between FDOT and the Hernando/Citrus MPO. As required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the UPWP document is created every two years and updated in the second year. The UPWP defines work tasks of the Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) transportation planning efforts for each of the two years including the proposed budget expenditures and revenue sources.
The total budget for the two-year program is required to be prepared without reflecting carry-forward that will be available in the 2nd year from remaining funds from Fiscal Year 2024. The two-year program is reflecting the funding allocation from the FDOT for "PL" funding in the amounts of $697,924 for FY 2025 and $705,133 for FY 2026, a total two-year program in the amount of $1,403,057. Through the use of transportation development credits also known as toll revenue credits, the FDOT 'soft matches' the federal allocation in the amount of $309,450. Additionally, in accordance with the federal requirements, 2.5% of each MPO's PL contract allocation, a minimum of $35,077 for this MPO, is set aside for Complete Streets planning.
The funding amounts reflected for Transportation Disadvantaged planning grants are provided by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD). Hernando County's allocation for FY 2025 is $26,591 and Citrus County's allocation for FY 2025 is $25,645. The same amounts are used to conservatively estimate the FY 2026 budgets...
