Yes, except for the OTHER transit hub 3 blocks to the south for the LRT lines and (possibly in the future) Union Station another 3-4 blocks south and west.

And that transfer station is not commuter friendly. To transfer between the 2 lines (between the north-south and east-west lines), you need to cross 2 directions of traffic since the 4 stations are all on the right-most lanes of the road on each of the 4 sides of the block. At the very least they're looking to put a pedestrian scramble crossing setup along 1st Ave for both Washington & Jefferson...
They ran a survey on how to name the platforms and it gets confusing. If you're coming from Glendale and you need to get to Sky Harbor, you need to get off at the West platform at this hub, and transfer to the South platform to head East towards Sky Harbor. I'm just ranting at this point lol and I keep wishing Central Station truly was the hub for everything.
