Sangamon Mass Transit District HUB Project
I toured the Sangamon Mass Transit District (SMTD) to see the HUB project being developed to enhance public safety and improve public transportation for the city of Springfield. This massive infrastructure project will consolidate high-speed rail traffic, bus access / transfers, and airport shuttles into one, central location within the downtown area.
By 2025, the community will have a state-of-the-art transportation facility that will bring more visitors to Springfield and more economic growth to Illinois!
The new facility will include the Amtrak station, a food/beverage option, a new parking garage and other amenities in a county square. From the front entrance to the Hub on 9th Street, visitors will be able to also access a newly renovated county building with access to many services on the first floor in the new atrium. Visitors will also be able to access the new Sangamon Mass Transit District bus transfer station and Greyhound by walking over a sky bridge over the 10th Street railroad tracks.
