State Street station (Illinois)

State Street station refers to multiple stations on the Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) 'L' system located along State Street in Chicago, Illinois. Historically, this has included stations on both the Red Line and the Blue Line, as State Street is a key corridor for both lines in the downtown area.

Currently, "State Street station" most commonly refers to stations on the Red Line subway, specifically those within the State Street Subway portion of the line. Key stations along this stretch include:

• Lake (Red Line): Connects to the Loop 'L' lines.

• Monroe (Red Line): Located under Monroe Street.

• Jackson (Red Line): Located under Jackson Boulevard.

Historically, the Blue Line also had stations along State Street before the construction of the Dearborn Subway. However, those stations were replaced by the subway. Today, the nearest Blue Line station to the State Street corridor is located under Dearborn Street.

The stations along State Street provide crucial access to the Loop business district, cultural institutions, and various shopping and dining destinations. They are vital components of Chicago's public transportation network.
