Airport Shuttle

To take the Airport Shuttle from Midway, you MUST make reservations one day in advance by calling (312) 454-7799.

Continental Airport Express offers daily shuttle service between Midway and north suburban locations from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Departures are about every 15 minutes. The fare to the Evanston Campus is about $28. The pickup location can be found in front of the main terminal building.

Subway (the "L")

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

Take the CTA Orange Line to the State/Lake stop in Chicago’s Loop. You will be on the elevated level above State Street and Lake Street at that location.

Walk down the stairs to State Street.

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.
