Until 26 January 2024, Yampil was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Yampil became a rural settlement.[2]
The settlement has road access to Shostka and to Hlukhiv where there is further access to Kyiv.
Ivotka railway station is just outside of the settlement border. It is on the railway connecting Konotop with Zernove railway station in Seredyna-Buda. There is local passenger traffic.
