Enclosure 2 - Points of Contact for Travel/In and Around Transportation
1. These are some transportation options to and from O’Hare airport. You MUST call and make reservations. They will need your airline, flight number, and arrival time. It can be very difficult and expensive to get a taxi at O’Hare so I do not recommend using them. There are others besides the two listed below, so Google away.
a. GO Airport Express – (773) 247-1200 $35.00 each way
b. Suburban Rides - (847) 322-3376 or (630) 488-1155 $60.00 each way
2. Here are some cell numbers to call when you arrive at the gate to Naval Station Great Lakes. Please go into the Visitor Center and give us a few minutes to get someone out there.
a. Barry – 417 234 1023
b. Tyrone – 573 586 9109
c. Roger – 262 337 1601
d. Mike Farley – 906 369 3216
e. Lorenzo Harris – 314 607 7899
3. You will either have to walk to class or team up with someone who drove to get a ride. We are attempting to get a van to be used for that purpose, but we won’t have more than one. We will do our best to provide in and around transportation with the GSA vehicles that we have access to.
