Choose from all 11 Metra lines. You'll only receive alerts for the lines you ride.
Tell us when you travel — morning, evening, weekdays, weekends. We'll stay quiet the rest of the time.
Receive email alerts the moment a delay, disruption, or suspension hits your line — during your window.
Up to 4 travel windows per account. Morning rush, evening rush, or custom — you decide when alerts matter.
BNSF, Metra Electric, Union Pacific, Rock Island, and every other line — full coverage across the Chicago region.
Check your lines at a glance before you head out. Red, yellow, and green status updated every 5 minutes.
Alerts go straight to your inbox — no app to download, no account to manage beyond your preferences.
