The Joliet Transportation Center is an under construction multimodal mass transit center linking passenger bus routes, Metra commuter trains, and Amtrak passenger trains in the central city of Joliet, Illinois. Operating as of 2016 from transitional infrastructure, it is in the process of replacing Joliet Union Station as the commuter and passenger train station serving Joliet. Union Station ceased to provide train service in September 2014, and the Transportation Center was expected to enter into full operation in summer 2016.[1] Groundbreaking actually took place late in 2016, with construction beginning shortly afterward and a targeted completion of 2017.[2]
