The public transit system in Champaign-Urbana makes traveling to and from Research Park easy. The Champaign-Urbana MTD’s Link route makes transportation by bus more seamless between UIUC’s central campus and the Research Park.
This weekday daytime route connects several areas of campus with a 15-minute commute, creating a much more direct option for those traveling between most Grainger College of Engineering buildings and Research Park.
