Truman College-Maps and Location

Getting to Truman

Truman College, 1145 West Wilson Avenue, is located on major Chicago bus and El routes. The main entrance is half a block from the intersection of Wilson and Broadway and only about 50 feet from the Wilson Red Line El stop. We offer Car Sharing discounts to our students, faculty and staff. We also encourage bike riding, and have many bike racks right in front of the school!

This year, it's more important than ever to consider using public transportation to get to class. Due to development in Wilson Yard, the student parking lot under the El tracks next to the college, and construction on a new parking deck, there will be no parking at the college itself. Alternate parking has been provided in a Park District lot at the east end of Wilson Avenue, about six blocks from the college, next to Lake Michigan, with a shuttle bus to transport students to the main Truman building.

Please note, there is no parking at the college for anyone but those who have legitimate handicap license plates or windshield placards. Please use alternate transportation or the lake lot and the shuttle bus. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Alternate Parking and Shuttle Bus Service

The Park District lot is on Wilson Avenue, just east of Lake Shore Drive. Shuttle buses have been provided to ferry faculty, staff, and students between the lot and the college.

Car Sharing

These are essentially car rental companies who park their fleets on the street, not at airports. Members reserve cars online or by phone, then gain access to the vehicles with an electronic card. Cars are parked in various areas around the city. Both I-GO and Zipcar have vehicles within easy walking distance of Truman. Cars are available around the clock.

Zipcar and I-GO are ideal for those of you who could take the CTA, walk, or cycle to the college but bring your cars on the off chance that you might need them for errands or emergencies.

I-GO is an eco-friendly nonprofit offering fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles. Zipcar is a privately held organization offering a larger fleet and a wider range of cars. Prices and fees are comparable.
