JATSO seeks public input — Unfunded Needs Survey
JOPLIN, Mo. — The public is asked to help shape future transportation improvement plans in Joplin. In an effort to improve safety for all users, the Joplin Area Transportation Study Organization, or JATSO, is conducting a survey to help guide the FY2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Plan, or 'TIP'. The survey will help identify areas in town where it may be difficult to ride a bicycle. The survey gives pedestrians a way to identify areas where it's unsafe to walk or cross the street. Motorists can also point to dangerous or crowded intersections. Those interested in Joplin public transportation but can't utilize it for various issues can share what would entice them to ride the Trolley more often. JATSO doesn't just include Joplin. The planning area includes Joplin, Carl Junction, Webb City, Oronogo, Duenweg, Duquesne, and Newton County. The survey will assist in creating area projects, and budgeting them. Those interested in taking the transportation survey can do so, here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
