The station has 12 bus bays and 900 park and ride spaces, and is the southern terminus of the Metro Silver Line. Many passengers connect to this station from other buses to transfer to the Silver Line. Public restrooms for passengers as began installation in October 2012 and opened in February 2013. The nextrip bus screens were installed in November 2012 and became fully functional in April 2013. The large hub is undergoing station improvements. Metro renamed the Artesia Transit Center to the Harbor Gateway Transit Center during December 2011 but completed the process by June 2013. The Metro pylon sign installed in May 2012 displays the station's name as Artesia Transit Center, but it was renamed to display "Harbor Gateway Transit Center." The station name signs were changed to reflect the new station's name.

Thus, this is Metro Silver Line's 4th station to have station art. The other 3 include: Los Angeles County & USC Medical Center Station, Cal State LA Station & El Monte Station. The art sculpture was developed by Alison Saar. The sculpture displays a willow tree, while on the east face a willow spirit, shown here, emerges mysteriously from the tree. Metro is changing the signage of the station to reflect the new name of the station. On March 8, 2013 Metro's South Bay Council staff discussed the completed station improvements and other upcoming improvements to the station's design.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= REPORT ON Harbor Gateway Transit Center IMPROVEMENTS South Bay Service Council, March 8, 2013 )〕 The Harbor Gateway Transit Center is receiving signage and wayfinding improvements in two phases. Phase 1 will replace the station name signs on the benches to the new station name. Wayfinding signage will be installed in several parts of the station to help direct passengers from the parking lot to the bus station. The current non-working clock will be replaced by the Metro logo sign. Bus arrival pillars similar to the ones installed in the El Monte Station will be installed in the bus bays. Phase 2 signage is being designed, but Metro plans to add an 80-foot pillar near the area between the I-110 freeway and the Harbor Gateway Transit Center. The tall pillar will have the Metro Silver Line's silver color and the Metro logo at the near top. Moreover, the pillar will look similar to the one installed at the El Monte Station. ==Layout== Pedestrian and parking access is via Cassidy Street & Vermont Avenue and from near 182nd Street & Hoover Street. Transitway services which continue southbound to Carson station use Figueroa Street. There are plenty of bus benches throughout the station.
