Transportation<br />
The Stevenson Expressway (I-55) is a quick fifteen minutes north via LaGrange Road (U.S. Route 45) which is the main<br />
thoroughfare through the heart of Orland Park. The Veteran’s Memorial Tollway/I-355, completed in 2007, is accessible west<br />
of Orland Park, connecting to the western suburbs.<br />
This thoroughfare has opened up new potential for the<br />
village as a residential option for the many people employed<br />
in the suburbs along this corridor and as a travel destination<br />
for those looking for entertainment and activity options.<br />
Interstate 80 borders the southern end of Orland Park and<br />
provides connections to numerous roads and interstates.<br />
Commuters looking for an alternative to driving board Metra<br />
Southwest Service trains at three stations in the village for a<br />
convenient trip to Chicago’s Loop. The Main Street Triangle<br />
District, a planned downtown development at 143rd Street<br />
along Southwest Highway and LaGrange Road, includes a<br />
new, $3 million commuter train station and ample parking.<br />
Additional trains on the Rock Island Line are available at<br />
stops in nearby Tinley Park and Mokena.<br />
The improved Pace Suburban Bus Service operates three<br />
routes in Orland Park, one of which ends at the Midway<br />
Airport Station, where it connects with CTA Southwest<br />
Orange Line “L” trains to downtown Chicago. In addition,<br />
Pace works with the village to offer dial-a-ride service for<br />
residents in Orland Park and Orland Hills. This service is<br />
especially useful for disabled riders and senior citizens.<br />
Commercial air transportation is readily available for<br />
travelers, as Orland Park is situated just 25 minutes from<br />
Chicago’s Midway International Airport and 40 minutes from<br />
O’Hare International Airport.<br />
No matter where you need to go, it’s easy to travel in and<br />
around the Orland Park area.<br />
