Kosciuszko Street is a skip-stop station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. It is served at all times by the J train. The Z train bypasses this station when it operates.

This elevated station has two side platforms and three tracks; the center express track is not used in regular service.

The artwork here is called Euphorbias by Ronald Calloway and has a floral theme.

The southeastern exit has a station house crossunder and has two street stairs that lead to the northern and western corners of Kossuth Place, Patchen Avenue, and Lafayette Avenue, just east of Kosciuszko Street. The northwestern exit is an emergency exit only with a closed station house, leading to DeKalb Avenue. This entrance was closed in the 1980s due to high crime. The closed entrance is about a block from the northern terminus of the B46 Select Bus Service at DeKalb Avenue.
