Introduction

DMMPC

The Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission (DMMPC) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Muncie Urbanized Area, as designated by the Governor of Indiana. The Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) for the MPO includes all of Delaware County, excluding only the Anderson urbanized area that extends into the Daleville region. The Air Quality Transportation Conformity responsibilities encompass all of Delaware County.

UPWP

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) operates on a fiscal year (FY) (July 1,2025 through June 30, 2026). It sets forth the total planning activities to be undertaken by the DMMPC and the MPO during the two-year period of the plan. The UPWP establishes a program that eliminates duplication of effort, interrelates transportation planning, land use planning, and other elements of the Continuing, Cooperative, and Comprehensive (3C) planning process, and provides a basis for federal and state funding. In this report, progress made regarding each element of the UPWP will be summarized for fiscal year 2026.
