To be eligible for Federal funding for transportation improvements, metropolitan regions must undertake the regional transportation planning process specified in Federal regulations 23 CFR Part 450.314, including development of Unified Planning Work Programs (UPWPs or work programs). The work program for the KATS planning area is developed in consultation with the state, local agencies, and operators of publicly-owned transit services in the region.
The work program is developed annually. It defines the planning priorities in the KATS planning area and describes all transportation-related planning activities anticipated within a given program year.
