SEMPO FY 2015 UPWP
Introduction
A metropolitan planning organization (MPO) is a federally mandated and funded policy-making
organization that oversees transportation planning for an urbanized area. The requirements for
MPO's are contained in 23 U.S.C. 134 and 23 CFR 450.308. One of the key requirements is that
the MPO conduct a metropolitan transportation planning process that is continuous,
cooperative, and comprehensive. As part of this process, the MPO must adopt a Unified
Planning Work Program (UPWP) that provides for consideration and implementation of
projects, strategies and services that will address the following eight factors:
1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global
competiveness, productivity and efficiency;
2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non -motorized
users;
3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non -motorized
users;
4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and freight;
S. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the
quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and
state and local planned growth and economic development patterns;
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and
between modes, for people and freight;
7. Promote efficient system management and operation; and
8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.
As the MPO for the Cape Girardeau — Jackson urbanized area, the Southeast Metropolitan
Planning Organization (SEMPO) is responsible for meeting the federal metropolitan planning
regulations for the specified geographic area that includes the City of Cape Girardeau, the City
of -Jackson, and portions of Cape Girardeau County and Scott County, Missouri, as well as
portions of the Village of East Cape Girardeau and Alexander County, Illinois. A map showing
the SEMPO metropolitan planning area boundary is included as an attachment. This area is
faced with the challenge of maintaining a number of transportation systems that meet the
needs of a growing region, including highways, railways, ports, airports, transit, bicyclists, and
pedestrians. Addressing this challenge is SEMPO's top priority, followed by planning for
expansion of these systems to accommodate future growth.
SEMPO was designated by the Governor of Missouri as the metropolitan planning organization
for the urbanized area on March 12, 2013, and by the Governor of Illinois on February 7, 2013.
It is comprised of a Board of Directors and a Technical Planning Committee. The Board of
SEMPO FY 2015 UPWP S
Directors consists of elected and appointed officials from the above jurisdictions, as well as
various federal, state, and regional transportation agencies and local transit authorities. The
Technical Planning Committee primarily consists of staff from these jurisdictions and agencies;
it serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors on technical matters. The City of
Cape Girardeau provides administrative services and staff support for SEMPO, as authorized in
the Memorandum of Understanding and the Bylaws.
This UPWP covers the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. It serves as a management
tool for identifying, scheduling, budgeting and monitoring SEMPO's planning activities, and
serves as the basis for funding agreements with the Missouri Department of Transportation
(MODOT) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). There are a number of activities
that are considered eligible expenses for transportation planning funds, such as: data collection
and maintenance, map preparation, land use studies, traffic volume studies, economic and
fiscal studies, project evaluation studies, and similar studies relating to transportation.
Tables 1 through 6 show SEMPO's funding sources, budget, and allocations for Fiscal Year 2015.
