A Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a required document outlining transportation planning activities performed in accordance with United States Code (23 CFR Part 450.308). The work program serves as a guide to develop and advance the implementation of plans, programs, and projects that seek to address the ten planning factors identified in §450.306(b)). Such factors include, but are not limited to: preserving and improving the transportation system, enhancing mobility and connectivity, supporting economic vitality, safety and security, as well as environmental considerations.
The UPWP process provides the SWRMPO and HVMPO technical and support services which assist in selecting transportation investments and setting priorities in the region.
The Western Connecticut Council of Governments (WestCOG) provides assistance in regional planning, transportation, environmental management, emergency preparedness, economic development, and municipal shared services to a region of 18 municipalities and 610,000 residents.
WestCOG seeks three seasonal mapping technicians, in coordination with participating municipalities, to map storm drain and underground stormwater infrastructure using a mapping process developed and tested by WestCOG staff.
Field technicians would inspect catch basins utilizing a mobile device (with functioning camera and GPS), measuring tape, flashlight, safety equipment, and a WestCOG developed app to log what pipes are present which includes the size, material, and relative direction of the pipes.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis or until April 14th; Interested applicants can send resume to tbeckett@westcog.org, cover letter optional. Selected candidates may be asked to provide additional information or to appear for a video interview.
A Council of Governments serves as a forum to promote cooperation among its member municipalities. WestCOG can initiate and implement services and programs as authorized by its municipalities. WestCOG also advises the region on land use, economic, emergency, and environmental planning.
WestCOG is governed by a council composed of Chief Elected Officials — mayors and first selectmen. Each WestCOG member municipality is entitled to one representative and one vote on the council.
