Transportation to Evanston Campus from Midway

Airport Shuttle

See the Transportation Services web site for airport shuttle information.


Subway (the "L")

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA/elevated/"L") train provides transit service to downtown. There is an "L" stop at the airport.

  1. Take the CTA Orange Line to the State/Lake stop in Chicagoís Loop. You will be on the elevated level above State Street and Lake Street at that location.
  2. Walk down the stairs to State Street.
  3. Walk about a half-block south and take the stairs down from State Street to the subway station. Take the Red Line north to Howard Street.
  4. Howard Street is as far as the Red Line goes in the direction of Evanston, so you will need to get off the Red Line train and transfer to a Purple Line train. Take the Purple Line north to the Foster Street stop in Evanston.
  5. Walk east, passing Sherman Avenue and Orrington Avenue (about two and a half blocks), until you arrive at Sheridan Road. Refer to the campus maps to find specific locations.

Taxi

A taxi cab costs about $40 one way.
