Transportation

Via Bus from Chicago/O'Hare

Busses between Madison and Chicago O'Hare/downtown Amtrak station are operated by the Van Galder Bus Co. They depart approximately every 60 to 120 minutes from International Terminal #5 (Lower Level, Exit 5E). The bus trip to Madison takes about 3.5 hours and costs $29 one way. It will drop you off at the Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St.

For information and the bus schedule, visit the Van Galder Bus Co. web site or call 800-747-0994, toll-free in the U.S. If you are traveling from Minneapolis, check the Greyhound Bus Co. web site or call Greyhound Bus (800-231-2222).

Taxi service in Madison

Taxi service in the Madison area is available from the following companies:

Via Air

Madison is served by the Dane County Regional Airport (MSN), which serves more than 75 daily flights. Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, and Cincinnati are the major non-stop destinations serviced from Madison. Commercial air carriers that offer service from the Dane County Regional Airport include:

A taxi from the airport to the downtown/campus area is about a 15-20 minute ride (except during rush hour) and will cost around $25. If you are coming from outside the U.S. and have to buy a separate ticket to Madison, you might consider taking the bus from O'Hare airport in Chicago.

Via Auto from Fermilab

While we highly discourage driving to Madison, here are directions from Fermilab:

    Take I-88 Tollway west from FNAL. Merge onto I-39 North towards ROCKFORD. Near Rockford, take the I-90 W exit towards WISCONSIN. Later, take the 18/12 (exit 142A on the LEFT) towards MADISON. Take the PARK ST exit (261B)and head towards the right (North) on PARK ST. About 4 miles later you will reach the corner of Park & University Avenue. The Dormitory is on the Left. There is a pull in where you can unload just past the dorm on the Park Street side.

Dorm Location

Chadbourne Hall is on the corner of Park Street and University Avenue.

If you need parking arrangements please contact the secretariat ASAP but no later than June 10, 2011. If you show up with out having made any arrangements, there are two public parking ramps that charge by the hour available on Lake St. and are within a 5-minute walk to Chadbourne Hall. On-street parking is very difficult to find on campus, and university parking lots requiring permits are closely patrolled, so public ramps are the way to go if you failed to make arrangements ahead of time. Vehicles may be left in public ramps for 48 hours before being ticketed and towed.
