Jackson (also Jackson/Dearborn) is an 'L' station on the CTA's Blue Line, located in the Loop. This station was recently^[when?] renovated to resemble the Jackson/State station; a pedestrian tunnel connects these two stations, allowing for a free transfer to the Red Line. Farecard transfers to the Harold Washington Library – State/Van Buren station are also available at this station for the Brown, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines.

This is the southernmost of the three stations on one long continuous platform underneath Dearborn Street, with the stops at Monroe and Washington being the other two.
