Transportation<br />

The Stevenson Expressway (I-55) is a quick fifteen minutes north via LaGrange Road (U.S. Route 45) which is the main thoroughfare through the heart<br />

of Orland Park. The Veteran’s Memorial Tollway/I-355, completed in 2007, is accessible west of Orland Park, connecting to the western suburbs. This<br />

thoroughfare has opened up new potential for the village as a residential option for the many people employed in the suburbs along this corridor and<br />

as a travel destination for those looking for entertainment and activity options. Interstate 80 borders the southern end of Orland Park and provides<br />

connections to numerous roads and interstates.<br />

Commuters looking for<br />

an alternative to driving<br />

board Metra Southwest<br />

Service trains at three<br />

stations in the village for a<br />

convenient trip to Chicago’s<br />

Loop. The Main Street<br />

Triangle District, a planned<br />

downtown development<br />

at 143rd Street along<br />

Southwest Highway and<br />

LaGrange Road, includes a<br />

new, $3 million commuter<br />

train station and ample<br />

parking. Additional trains<br />

on the Rock Island Line are<br />

available at stops in nearby<br />

Tinley Park and Mokena.<br />

The improved Pace<br />

Suburban Bus Service<br />

operates three routes in Orland Park, one of which ends at the<br />

Midway Airport Station, where it connects with CTA Southwest<br />

Orange Line “L” trains to downtown Chicago. In addition, Pace<br />

works with the village to offer dial-a-ride service for residents<br />

in Orland Park and Orland Hills. This service is especially useful<br />

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 />
