Steps away from history.

Taking Metra Electric to the Obama Presidential Center is easy:
🚆 Get off at 55th–56th–57th St. (ADA Accessible)
🚆 Or ride to 59th St./University of Chicago (about a 10-minute walk)
🚆 Or ride to 63rd St. (about a 10-minute walk)

Heading to the Grand Opening Watch Party? Walk west from 59th St. to the Midway Plaisance and enter at Woodlawn Ave.

Skip the traffic. Skip the parking. Take Metra and spend more time where it matters.

On May 31, the ILGA passed a trailer bill to enhance the transition to NITA. Minor changes in the trailer legislation and FY2027 regional transit budget will help maintain transit service across the region, allowing NITA to deliver on promised benefits. 📜
