Riverdale Transit Shuttle is proud to provide professional, wheelchair-accessible transportation throughout University Park, IL. As home to Governors State University, University Park generates steady demand for student, faculty, and campus-visitor transportation alongside our core medical and senior rides. Whether you need a ride to a routine medical appointment, dialysis treatment, hospital discharge, the airport, or a private trip across town, our licensed and insured drivers are ready around the clock.

Our drivers make this trip regularly, so they know the fastest routes, the best pickup points at local medical campuses like Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, and how to plan around traffic on I-57 and Stuenkel Rd.
