There are two very large murals installed at the new Springfield Sangamon County Transportation Hub located in downtown Springfield. 

The "Corridor in History and Development" large mural was designed and installed by Jared Bader in 2023. It will be seen by people transferring at the SMTD bus transfer center as well as others walking or driving down 11th Street by the new transportation Hub.

The "Local Heroes" large mural was designed and installed by Danielle Mastrion in 2023. It will be seen from the Amtrak station and as guests get on and off the train. 

The artists and the mural concepts were chosen by a mural advisory committee that included county and city leaders, members of the art community and leaders of surrounding neighborhood associations.
