Shuttle service
All times listed are departure times (the time the bus will leave that stop). Please be prompt to avoid missing the bus. These times are approximate due to circumstances we cannot control.
Due to the temporary closure of the main parking garage for construction and the relocation of patient valet parking services to the Bldg. 133CA ‘blue canopy’ entrance, our transportation will provide the following from March 24, 2025:
- Our on-demand on-campus shuttle will drop off and pick up at the Quarterdeck instead of the blue canopy entrance during construction (scheduled to end May 27 pending delays).
- The Metra train shuttle may not be able to enter the actual horseshoe main entrance. If this happens the shuttle bus will be waiting on the outside of the circle along L Street. You may be required to walk the short distance from the blue canopy to L Street.
- The morning parking lot shuttle will run from 6:15-8 a.m. from Lots T and G to any on campus destination requested. During the garage closure, the afternoon parking lot shuttle will run from the shuttle stop at the Quarterdeck to Lots T and G from 2:30-4:15 p.m.
On-campus shuttle service
The on-campus shuttle bus(route bus) runs on an as-needed basis Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:15 p.m.
To schedule transport from one part of the campus to another, call 224-610-3502 (or dial ext. 63502) and relay your desired pick up and drop off times. The shuttle will only pick up and drop off at the existing shuttle stops which are:
- Lot G
- Bldg. 133CA Blue Canopy
- Bldg. 133EF Half Circle
- Lot T
- Heroes Harbor (Green Homes 201, 202, 205, 206)
- Bldg. 7, 9, 11, 66, 131 and 135
The shuttle will arrive at your location as soon as available. Please allow up to 30 minutes for pick-up due to busier times.
Train shuttle route schedule

We will do a 4:57 p.m. pickup at the 133 loading dock going to the East side weekdays.
These times are approximate due to situations out of our control such as weather and traffic.
This Metra Pilot schedule is a temporary schedule until further notice.
We will now be picking up and dropping off at both the East and West sides of the train depending on the time of day. Please see the last column to find out which side the bus will drop off and pick up on. All times listed are departure times (the time the bus leaves the stop).
