Please note that Amtrack will also drop you at the Illinois Terminal. Make sure you have on you at least 50 cents in exact change so that you can call a cab to take you to your hotel or final destination in Champaign-Urbana.

Taking Amtrak from the airports

You will have to take public transportation (CTA) or a taxi from the airport to Union Station in downtown Chicago in order to catch an AMTRAK train to Champaign.

Chicago Transit Authority

The Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) Blue Line provides 24-hour access between downtown Chicago and O'Hare International Airport. Trains run 8 minutes or less from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and every ten minutes from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. A one-way fare for the 45-minute ride is $1.50.

The CTA station is located at the lowest level of the Main Parking Garage (next to elevator center 4) and is accessible by pedestrian tunnels located in Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
