Clinton serves as a subway stop on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, specifically on the Blue Line, and is situated within the West Loop area of the Near West Side community. The Congress Branch, part of the Blue Line, commenced operations in June 1958, linking to the Dearborn subway at LaSalle station. This station holds the distinction of being the nearest 'L' access point to Union Station, which functions as Chicago's primary Amtrak terminal and a downtown hub for multiple Metra routes, as well as being close to the Greyhound bus terminal. Union Station is located approximately two blocks to the north, while the Greyhound terminal lies one block to the west.
Additionally, Clinton is recognized as the deepest station within the CTA network.
Underground station
The underground facility currently in use was inaugurated on June 22, 1958, extending westward from the Milwaukee–Dearborn subway toward the Congress branch. Before this extension, subway service ended at LaSalle station, situated just east across the South Branch Chicago River.
