=== Public transit === [[Woodstock (Metra)|Woodstock's railroad station]] is the penultimate passenger stop on [[Metra]]'s [[Union Pacific / Northwest Line|Union Pacific Northwest Line]], which originates from [[Ogilvie Transportation Center]] in downtown Chicago and ends in [[Harvard, Illinois]]. At Woodstock, Metra offers passengers 14 daily trains to Chicago on weekdays, with 13 returning outbound.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/metra_50933_fm20_tt_proof.pdf|title=Metra UPNW Current Schedule|date=January 29, 2012|website=www.metrarail.com|access-date=February 24, 2017}}</ref> Between 400 and 500 passengers use the train daily for travel to Chicago or other suburban communities along the line.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/assets/about-metra/2014count_summary10.pdf|title=Metra Commuter Rail System Station Statistics - 2014|last=Division of Strategic Capital Planning|first=Metra|date=Spring 2014|website=www.metrarail.com}}</ref> This direct link to the city was historically instrumental in Woodstock's growth as a city, and remains an attractive option for local commuters and residents to reach Chicago. As a result, Woodstock's use of the system is greater than that of nearly half of the Metra system's other outlying stations, many of which serve larger or geographically nearer communities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/assets/about-metra/2014count_summary10.pdf|title=Metra Commuter Rail System Station Statistics - 2014|last=Division of Strategic Capital Planning|first=Metra|date=Spring 2014|website=www.metrarail.com}}</ref> Other public ground transportation is limited to [[Pace (transit)|Pace bus]] route 807, which connects downtown Woodstock with downtown McHenry.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pacebus.com/sub/schedules/route_detail.asp?RouteNo=807|title=Pace Bus - Route 807- Woodstock-McHenry|website=www.pacebus.com|language=en|access-date=2017-02-24}}</ref>
