World Trade Center Maps and Routes
Every level of the Oculus can be reached by elevator and is wheelchair accessible. Traveling between different levels may require an elevator transfer. Review the maps below for specific elevator locations and which levels they service, and check our Twitter page for the most up-to-date information on closures, outages, and recommended routes. In accordance with ADA requirements, all elevators have braille numbers and signage.
Campus Maps
These maps give an overview of elevator, escalator, and bathroom locations throughout the Oculus, plus entry points at each level: Street Level L1, Balcony Level C1, and Oculus Main Level C2.

Elevator Maps
These maps highlight elevator locations in the Oculus and accessible entry points to transit. While you're there, look out for blue signs that show the directions to the next elevator. For access from street level to all other levels, we recommend taking:
- Elevators 19 & 20 via the 3 World Trade Center Transit Lobby on Greenwich Street and Cortlandt Way or via the Oculus South Concourse.
- Elevator 23 inside the 2 World Trade Center Transit Lobby, best accessed on Vesey or Fulton Street or via the Oculus North Concourse.
