Transportation from the Airport -
You will need to arrange for your transportation from Midway or O’Hare Airport to Purdue University Calumet (Hammond, IN). We recommend taking the COACH USA bus, which is available from both airports to the HIGHLAND, IN Bus Terminal (3 miles from the campus). The ride from the airports takes approximately one hour. They offer very reliable services, leave the airport every hour. COACH USA furnishes modern, clean and comfortable motor coaches exclusively for airport arrivals and departures. For more information, please visit their website at www.coachusa.com. Tickets can be purchased online or at the airport (approximately $22 one way).

You will also need transportation from the Highland Bus Terminal to the University Village or hotel. Listed below are a few of them:

  • Classic Taxi: (219) 322-8758
  • Yellow Cab of Northwest Indiana: (219) 932-9999
