Transport accessibility
Jasło is situated on important intersecting national traffic routes. These are DK 28 Zator – Medyka and DK 73 Jasło – Wiśniówka. The DK 28, which runs through Jasło parallelly to the A4 Motorway and the DK 94, is an important artery in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Better transport connections between Jasło and the A4 Motorway are currently being considered, with a concept allowing for re-construction of National Road 73 between Jasło and Pilzno. The concept ultimately aims to modernise a part of the road and to build new sections of the road which would be the ring roads for Brzostek, Kołaczyce and Jasło. In Jasło, there are also the starting points of provincial roads. These are: DW 992 Jasło – Ożenna and DW 988 Warzyce (at the town boundary) – Babica. Additionally, Expressway S19 is being planned to be built to connect Jasło through the modernised National Road 28. There are also two railway lines running through the town: No. 108 – Stróże-Krościenko and No. 106 – Rzeszów-Jasło. The distance from Jasło to the motorway is satisfying, as it is 60 km, similar to the distances between Jasło and the international airports in Rzeszów-Jasionka – 80 km and Kraków-Balice – 155 km. Jasło has, however, a landing pad for helicopters and small planes.
