Unified Planning Work Program
The Bowling Green-Warren County Metropolitan Planning Organization Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is produced annually and outlines the transportation planning program of the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO area for the fiscal year. The UPWP contains Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and local transportation planning objectives and work elements to accomplish such objectives.
Metropolitan Transportation Plan
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) is a long-range (20-25 years) community transportation plan updated every five years. It outlines specific project priorities for highway projects funded through state/federal transportation dollars and includes broad transit and bike/ped recommendations.

Transportation Improvement Program
The Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) is a short range (5 years) community transportation plan updated every five years. The TIP is a requirement by USDOT for Federal Highway and Federal Transit transportation funding. The TIP is a prioritized list of federally funded transportation programs and projects covering a period of five years. The TIP executes the allocation of transportation funds and outlines what phases will receive funding and the estimated cost of the projects. Modifications and amendments are made to the TIP as necessary between updates.
Participation Plan
The Participation Plan is the official policy for how the MPO will disseminate information to the public and to stakeholders, to ensure there is adequate time for them to provide input, and to engage them in the transportation planning process. This plan also outlines the process for adopting and amending the major transportation planning documents produced by the MPO, including the long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan and short-range Transportation Improvement Program.
Annual Listing of Obligated Projects
Federal transportation planning regulations require that all Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) prepare an annual listing of projects for which Federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year. The Annual List of Obligated Projects shall be published or otherwise made available by the cooperative effort of the State, transit operator, and MPO. The listing shall be consistent with the funding categories identified in each metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
