The station has a ticket office which is open during the morning rush hour, Monday through Friday.
This station is sometimes referred to as East Lake Forest, to avoid confusion with the station of the same name on the Milwaukee District / North Line.
Parking is available along the east side of the tracks along McKinley Road between Woodland Road and north of Illinois Road, along the east side of the tracks along Western Avenue between Illinois Road and Vine Avenue, and at numerous lots near the station. As with many suburban Metra stations, Pace Buses serve commuters at the station. No connection to West Lake Forest is available, however.
