project overview

Communities in the southern portion of the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) planning region are interested in the potential to improve mobility and access to and within this region.

The WAMPO South Area Transportation Study (SATS) seeks to assess the future mobility needs of the southern portion of the WAMPO planning region. The SATS goals will be accomplished by evaluating various transportation improvements from a broad perspective to determine which strategies best address the specific transportation needs of the southern portion of the WAMPO planning area.

The decisions reached by this study can have a significant economic impact on the surrounding area through improving regional access and encouraging new development. The Study will focus on developing cost effective transportation improvements to assist economic development and improve quality of life for residents and business operators in the southern planning region.
