Public transportation is an essential service for students, faculty, and staff, offering convenient and affordable travel options to and from campus.
In collaboration with Pace Suburban Bus, the College provides weekday bus services with routes that connect to key locations in the surrounding communities. The Pace Route 715 and Route 714/COD Connector serve as primary options for reaching the campus, with designated stops on both the east and west sides of campus. For those with special transportation needs, Pace also offers ADA Paratransit and Dial-A-Ride services.
Metra also offers two routes that serve Community College District 502.
