O'Hare Transfer is a commuter railroad station along Metra's North Central Service that serves Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. The station is 18.6 miles (29.9 km) away from Chicago Union Station, the southern terminus of the line. As of 2018, O'Hare Transfer is the 183rd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 113 weekday boardings. The station is located at the dead end of Zemke Boulevard east of Mannheim Road (US 12/US 45) outside the northeast corner of the airport's Multi-Modal Facility (rental car/parking lot).

The railroad station is connected to the Airport Transit System people mover at the O'Hare Multimodal Facility. Two Pace bus routes also stop curbside at the lower level of the ATS station. The free ride on the people mover provides a connection to all four of the airline terminals.

As of February 15, 2024, O'Hare Transfer is served by 12 trains (six in each direction) on weekdays.

Owing to the weekday only operation and limited frequency offered by the North Central Service, the station is not currently a significant means of access for travelers to O'Hare. All trains are scheduled to stop at the inside (westernmost) platform, but occasionally an announcement will be made over the public address system that a train will be stopping on the outside (easternmost) platform.

Multi Modal Facility

The Multi Modal Facility (MMF) is an intermodal station serving the Airport Transit System, a people mover serving O'Hare Airport, and three Pace buses (including the Pulse Dempster Line); the station serves as the terminus of the ATS and the three Pace buses. It is located west of the O'Hare Transfer station at the other side of the parking garage and east of US 12/US 45 (Mannheim Road). The station opened on November 7, 2018; however, the ATS did not connect to the newly-opened station. The ATS closed in January 8, 2019, to reconstruct the entire system as well as to extend the line to the facility. It was originally scheduled to reopen in fall 2019; however, the reopening date was delayed to November 3, 2021, due to contract disputes and pandemic-induced supply issues. The ATS reopened with a limited schedule until April 18, 2022, when the people mover returned to its full schedule. Since the reopening, the ATS connects to the MMF.
