There’s no better way to get to Chicago than Amtrak—no highway hassles, no worries about parking and three daily trips to choose from Champaign-Urbana.

With affordable fares, convenient schedules and knowing that you’re doing the right thing for the environment, Amtrak to and from Champaign is the right choice.

Amtrak improves Illinois by reducing our oil addiction, protecting our environment and connecting our region's economy. Because each individual rider strengthens the passenger rail network, you can improve Illinois by helping someone new catch an Illinois train.
