The World Trade Center Transportation Hub will restore and greatly enhance the level of services that existed prior to September 11, 2001.

Comparable in size to Grand Central Station, the new hub will serve more than 200,000 daily commuters, along with millions of annual visitors to the World Trade Center and Memorial. The Hub will feature advanced signal systems, state-of-the-art fare collection equipment, and climate-controlled platforms and mezzanines with superior lighting and finishes.

The Hub’s new concourse will connect commuters and visitors to transit connections, unsurpassed retail opportunities and other destinations, including the World Financial Center and Winter Garden.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava, the Hub’s design will seamlessly fuse state-of-the-art transportation and retail facilities in a design destined to become iconic.
