Oak Lawn’s Metra connection
Metra identifies Oak Lawn Patriot Station at 9525 South Tulley Avenue as an accessible station on the SouthWest Service line. Train schedules, fares, parking, accessibility details, and service alerts can change, so current Metra information should be checked before travel.
Think door to door
A station or bus route is only one part of a real trip. Test the complete journey: how you reach the stop, how long transfers take, whether sidewalks and crossings fit your needs, what happens after dark or in severe weather, and whether the return schedule works.
A transportation reality check
- Plan the same trip for weekday, weekend, morning, and evening when relevant
- Check current Metra, Pace, CTA, and RTA schedules or alerts
- Include parking, pickup, walking, bicycle, and accessibility needs
- Compare the advertised travel time with a real door-to-door trial
- Recheck construction and road notices through the Village or responsible agency
