===Public transportation===
The [[Chicago "L"]]s [[Yellow Line (CTA)|Yellow Line]] terminates at the [[Dempster&ndash;Skokie (CTA station)|Dempster Street]] station in Skokie. Construction has been completed on a new Yellow Line train station at [[Oakton&ndash;Skokie (CTA station)|Oakton Street]], to serve downtown Skokie. It opened on April 30, 2012.<ref>{{cite news|title=Oakton-Skokie Yellow Line Station Opens|newspaper=Chicago Transit Authority|url=http://www.transitchicago.com/travel_information/alert_detail.aspx?AlertId=13398|date=April 30, 2012|access-date=April 30, 2012}}</ref> Additionally, the CTA is commissioning an alternatives analysis study on the extension of the Yellow Line terminal to Old Orchard Road for [[Federal Transit Administration]] New Start grants.<ref>{{cite web

The New Starts program allows federal funds to be used for [[Capital expenditure|capital project]]s provided that all extensions for a given problem (i.e., enabling easy transportation for reverse commuters to [[Westfield Old Orchard]]) are considered. The extension recommended by the CTA, is the elevation of the Yellow Line to a new terminal south of Old Orchard Road. This extension was canceled.<ref>{{cite web

Although the Yellow Line is the fastest transportation to and from the city, the village also is served by [[Chicago Transit Authority|CTA]] and [[Pace (transit)|Pace]] bus routes. The [[Pace Pulse]] Dempster Line opened through the village in 2023. However, [[Greyhound Bus]] service to the Dempster Street train station has been discontinued. For automobile transport, [[Interstate 94]], the [[Edens Expressway]], traverses western Skokie, with interchanges at Touhy Avenue, Dempster Street, and Old Orchard Road.
