The TIP contains transportation and transit projects in the Joplin Metropolitan Area that are partially funded by Federal transportation programs over a four-year period. The UPWP is a yearly statement of work identifying the planning priorities and activities to be carried out within the JATO planning area.

The proposed TIP amendments add two new projects.  The proposed UPWP amendments add one new project.  The amendments are requested by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).

The public comment period for this amendment begins at 8:00 am, Friday, February 24, 2023, and concludes at 12:00 pm, Friday, March 3, 2023. Comments on the amendments can be submitted to Rachel Holcomb by phone at 417.624.0820, ext. 1514 or by email at rholcomb@joplinmo.org.
