Visitor Information

TRANSPORTATION

Public Transportation
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) maintains an extensive system of elevated trains (also known as “the L”) and buses throughout Chicago and Evanston. The train stop closest to the Kellogg Global Hub is the Purple Line Foster stop on Church and Davis Streets. There is a #201 bus that departs from the Howard St. Red Line terminal and stops on the corner of Foster and Sheridan.

Be advised, while inexpensive, taking the CTA from the airport can take up to 90 minutes and requires transferring trains.

Taxi
Taxi service from both airports can be arranged in advance of your visit for a reduced fare. Pre-arranged rides start at approximately $35 from O’Hare and $50 from Midway. For up-to-date fare information, please contact a taxi service directly.

Parking

The parking garage closest to the Kellogg Global Hub (conference location) is the North Campus Parking Garage.
