INTRODUCTION This Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a mechanism for listing and organizing the Farmington Metropolitan Planning Organization’s transportation planning activities that will be undertaken during the time period covered. This document was developed in accordance with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021, which builds upon previous Federal Transportation bills such as MAP-21 and the Fast Act. A. FMPO General Overview The Farmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (FMPO or MPO) is a regional planning organization that develops policies and makes decisions about transportation planning in the northern portion of San Juan County, New Mexico. It is a forum for the communities in the area, including the cities of Aztec, Bloomfield, Farmington, and Kirtland and urbanized areas of San Juan County, to address common regional transportation issues. FMPO’s fiscal agent is the City of Farmington B. Transportation Planning Federal law requires that every metropolitan area with a population over 50,000 have a designated Metropolitan Planning Organization to qualify for receipt of federal highway and transit funds. 1 FMPO employees provide planning, coordination, and administrative support to the FMPO Policy Committee which is the MPO’s policy-making body, as well as the FMPO Technical Committee, and other groups formed to provide technical assistance and community input on transportation planning efforts. Work tasks and responsibilities with respect to transportation planning for the MPO are detailed in this document, the Unified Planning Work Program. Refer to Appendix B for a map of the FMPO Planning Area. C. Governance and Committees The FMPO is governed by its Policy Committee which is composed of elected/appointed officials from the City of Aztec, the City of Bloomfield, the City of Farmington, the Town of Kirtland, and San Juan County. Membership, officers and voting procedures are in accordance with the Bylaws adopted by the Policy Committee. The Technical Committee and other groups formed as needed provide the Policy Committee with guidance on matters related to project planning, funding, bicycle and pedestrian issues, complete streets, freight, roadway access management, and other specific matters related to transportation planning. D. Unified Planning Work Program Requirements A Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) must be developed by each MPO in cooperation with the state and public transportation operators 2 which identifies the work of the MPO over a one or two year period. The development of the UPWP is the joint responsibility of the MPO, State DOT, other state departments, public transportation operators and other planning and implementation agencies. The UPWP must identify work by major activity and task including those that address the planning factors in 23 CFR 450.306(a) which are listed in section G, below. Other 1 23 USC 134(d). 2 23 CFR 450.308(c) 9 requirements include a discussion of planning priorities facing the metropolitan planning area. This UPWP meets all federal requirements and covers a two-year period. The UPWP developed by an MPO must include: • A description of the work to be accomplished; • Who shall perform the work for an activity/task; • A schedule for completing the activity/task; • Resulting products of the activity /task; • Proposed funding by activity/task; • A summary of the total amounts and sources of federal and matching funds 3; • Identification of any incomplete work elements/activities carried over from previous fiscal years; • A summary of the work program that shows federal share by type of fund, matching rate by type of fund, state and/or local matching share and other state or local funds; and, • Estimated costs and staff hours for each task. • The FMPO will assume 2,080 work hours per staff per Federal Fiscal year (4,160 hours total for 2.0 FTEs). Hourly estimated pay rates in this document include all benefits. The 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) was adopted in September 2020. The 2025- 2026 UPWP will include work to produce an update by September 2025. The MPO, working in partnership with the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), will accomplish its tasks in accordance with federal government regulations and review by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. E. UPWP Development Process and Opportunities for Public Input The MPO staff develops the work program and budget for the next upcoming period in accordance with the following schedule. (Exact dates may vary) May 1st Even Years 1st Draft of UPWP to NMDOT Multimodal Planning and Programs Bureau (MPPB) and NMDOT Transit Bureau May 1st Even Years Proposed UPWP is posted online for Public Review and Comment.

The first is to attend Policy and Technical Committee meetings which are regularly scheduled and are open to the public. To learn more about these meetings, please contact Peter Koeppel at (505) 599-1449 or email at pkoeppel@fmtn.org. The public can also review the draft document during the 30-day public comment period. During this time, an electronic copy of the UPWP will be posted on the FMPO website at www.farmingtonmpo.org. Additionally, information in the FMPO Public Participation Plan can also be found on the website. (It is noted that formal amendments to the UPWP only require a 15-day public comment period.) Amendments to the UPWP are required periodically to accommodate new tasks, award of funding grants and changes in work priorities. Amendments are scheduled, if needed, on a quarterly basis with the approved UPWP amendment submitted to NMDOT MPPB on the last day of each Federal Fiscal Year Quarter (December 31, March 31, June 30 & September 30). Opportunities for public comment on UPWP amendments are available at any Policy or Technical Committee meeting at which the item will be discussed. Agendas for these meetings are posted online at farmingtonmpo.org. F. Funding Sources for Transportation Planning Activities Regional transportation planning efforts in the area are financed primarily through federal funds. (FHWA Planningfunds, FHWA State Planning and Research (SPR) grant funds, FTA Section 5303 funds.) Funds from local jurisdictions provide the required matching funds (14.56% for FHWA PL and 20% for FTA 5303) .Local funds may also provide additional funding for transportation planning purposes. Occasionally, state funds or grants are used for general transportation planning. Special federal planning grants for specific programs are also utilized when the MPO is awarded these types of funds. G. Metropolitan Planning- Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) The current transportation bill, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), continues the Metropolitan Planning program. The Program establishes a cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive framework for making transportation investment decisions in metropolitan areas. Program oversight is a joint Federal Highway Administration/Federal Transit Administration responsibility. Program features include the following: • Support for intercity bus and commuter vanpools • Selection of MPO officials • Consultation with other planning officials • Scope of planning process - The IIJA expands the scope of consideration of the Metropolitan Planning process to better coordinate transportation planning and housing by: • Updating the policy to include, as items in the national interest, encouraging and promoting the safe and efficient management, operation, and development of surface transportation systems that will better connect housing and employment; • Adding officials responsible for housing as officials with whom the Secretary shall encourage each MPO to consult; 11  • Requiring the metropolitan transportation planning process for a metropolitan planning area to provide for consideration of projects and strategies that will promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local housing patterns (in addition to planned growth and economic development patterns); • Adding assumed distribution of population and housing to a list of recommended components to be included in optional scenarios developed for consideration as part of development of the metropolitan transportation plan; and • Adding affordable housing organizations to a list of stakeholders MPOs are required to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment on the metropolitan transportation plan; • Encouraging the use of technology to encourage public participation in the planning process. • Capital investment and other strategies • Resilience and environmental mitigation activities • Transportation and Transit enhancement activities- The IIJA continues to require a metropolitan transportation plan to include transportation and transit enhancement activities. When proposing these activities, the plan must include: Consideration of the role that intercity buses may play in reducing congestion, pollution, and energy consumption in a cost-effective manner; and, Strategies and investments that preserve and enhance intercity bus systems (including those that are privately owned and operated. • Participation by interested parties in the planning process. • The IIJA is set to expire at the end of FFY 2026. H. Planning Priorities for the Metropolitan Planning Area The FMPO places high priority on implementing the vision of its 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan “for a safe, efficient and reliable multi-modal transportation system that meets the needs of residents and visitors in the region.” The MPO entities, Committees and staff work together with the public, NMDOT and other agencies to maintain the existing transportation system and to guide future system development to meet needs identified within the region. The 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, adopted in September 2020, will continue to emphasize the MPOs commitment to the development of a safe, comprehensive, and multimodal transportation system. A new MTP is scheduled for completion in September of 2025 as part of this work program. 12  II.
