Location & Transportation

A prime location puts Naperville in the heart of Chicago’s western suburbs. Straddling DuPage and Will counties, Naperville’s 36 acres are rimmed by forest preserves and interwoven with branches of the DuPage River. A system of interstate highways offers residents and travelers convenient access to Chicago, O’Hare International, Midway and DuPage airports, and all of Chicagoland. Naperville also has three tracks belonging to the BNSF Railway that run through the north end of town, with passenger rail service provided by Metra and Amtrak. Limited bus service to and from the main Naperville train station, as well as destinations such as Aurora’s Fox Valley Mall, are also available through the Pace system.

The Chamber of Commerce is working to support a comprehensive transportation infrastructure plan to ensure that the region remains a key transportation hub.
