Why do the MPOs sometimes get more (or less) FHWA Metropolitan Planning (PL) than is shown in the OWP Guidance?
The OWP Guidance is prepared in November or December for the next state fiscal year (FY) which is July 1 through June 30. The federal FY is October 1 through September 30 and the federal budget, which provides the exact amount of PL is passed around October 1, i.e., three months after the July 1 effective date of the OWP. The PL amount listed in the OWP Guidance is the current year’s total, which should be fairly close to what will be available for next year. When the actual PL amounts are known, the OWP needs to be amended to show extra work to be done if the PL amount increases or to delete work if the amount decreases. Because this amendment changes the total amount of PL in the OWP, the OWPA needs to be amended too.
