The El Paso MPO develops the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) that serves as the blueprint for all the activities to be performed annually as mandated by federal laws, regulations, and procedures. The UPWP is divided into five major tasks, and further subdivided into subtasks as needed. The MPO requires the assistance of UTEP′s qualified personnel, including Imad N.
