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 />
