Hub Signage Program
Consistent signage at transportation hubs — centers where multiple transit lines come together — make it easier to get the information you need to catch your next ride.
MTC works with transit operators to develop consistent wayfinding signage, regardless of which type of transit you need. At busy transit hubs, these signs, information displays and real-time departure displays make transit trips easier for Bay Area residents and visitors.
How to Find Signage
At transit hubs throughout the Bay Area, look for the big orange circle with the “i” for information on street maps, schedules and other transfer info, including real-time information.
Hubs are travel connection points with convenient access to multiple modes of public transit, bike share, car share and other options.
The retro “flap sign” in San Francisco’s historic Ferry Building is the only sign of its kind on the West Coast. Once a feature in many train stations on the East Coast and in Europe, the flap sign is increasingly rare and symbolic of a bygone era.
MTC has partnered with BART, Caltrain, Muni, VTA and other transit agencies to install signs that provide directions at the entrances and exits of transit hubs.
Responsibility for the operation, maintenance and replacement of signs is split between MTC and its partner transit agencies.
MTC is building out the design bench for the rollout of future Hub Signage implementation. Please contact us for details.
