The UA boundaries are extremely important for transportation planning and programming because they begin to define the area and population counts used for many of the Federal funding programs. Simply put, the UA population means money. The UA boundary is also important as it begins to define the core area from which MPOs evolve. The webinar is open to anyone with internet access on a first come first served basis. Pre registration is required. Space is limited. For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font
