Encourage Train Travel for Business Trips

Amtrak is a great way to travel long distances.  Business travel can be accomplished via train, rather than by plane or personal vehicle.  This allows a much lower emissions level per trip, and it is a relaxing option for travel.  Business trips by train are also opportunities to relax or work during the trip, with plenty of space and few distractions.
Encourage Use of Intercity Buses

Illinois Terminal (45 E. University Ave., Champaign) provides a central transfer point for the local MTD bus service, intercity buses, and Amtrak train service.

Greyhound, Burlington Trailways, Lex Express, Illini Express, and Megabus provide bus service to other cities from the Terminal.
Encourage Train Travel for Personal Trips

The University works with Amtrak to provide train schedules at various locations throughout campus.
Increase Amtrak Use

Train travel is an excellent way to go long distances.  With the convenient location of the train station in downtown Champaign at the Illinoii Terminal, many people on campus use Amtrak to go to Chicago, St. Louis, or other destinations. 
Support Zipcar in Champaign-Urbana

Fast. Convenient. Affordable. Environmentally friendly.

With Zipcar on campus, it just got easier to live without a car.

Need a car? Borrow a Zipcar!  Since 2010, MTD, Urbana, Champaign, and the U of I have partnered with Zipcar to bring self-service, on-demand car sharing to the area. To use Zipcars, simply register as a member, reserve a car online or by phone, use your Zipcard to enter the car, and drive away. Return the car to the same location where you picked it up.
