JATSO seeks public comments on proposed “TIP” amendment

The Joplin Area Transportation Study Organization (JATSO) is seeking a 7-day public comment period for an amendment to the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP contains transportation and transit projects in the Joplin Metropolitan Area that are partially funded by Federal transportation programs over the next four-year period.

The proposed TIP amendment adds one new project from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and one new project from the City of Carl Junction. The proposed amendment can be viewed on the JATSO website at https://www.joplinmo.org/DocumentCenter/View/9333/TIP-amendment-7-revised.

The public comment period for this amendment begins on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at 8 a.m. and concludes at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 28, 2021.

This public notice, public involvement activities, and time established for public review and comments on the TIP will satisfy the FTA Section 5307 Program of Projects requirements for Metro Area Public Transit System (MAPS).

Comments on the amendments can be submitted to Taylor Cunningham by phone at 417-624-0820 extension 514 or by e-mail at tcunning@joplinmo.org.
