History

The Jefferson station was one of three original Jacksonville Skyway stations that opened in June 1989 on the initial Phase I-A segment. It stands between Terminal and Convention Center station to the west and Central station to the east on the initial Phase I-A segment. All three stations were revamped in 1997, when the Skyway system switched from Matra to Bombardier Transportation technology. Jefferson station has an adjacent park and ride lot. JTA closed the station in July 2017 for the construction of an adjacent apartment complex; Convention Center station was also closed for the construction of Jacksonville Intermodal Station and it reopened on July 1, 2020 as LaVilla station.
