Finding parking for a large bus in Evanston can be challenging, especially in busy areas like downtown or near Northwestern University. However, there are several options available. Public lots near the Metra station, Ryan Field, and the lakefront parks often have space for oversized vehicles. For drop-offs and pickups, designated zones on Sheridan Road, Clark Street, and Ridge Avenue allow buses to load and unload passengers safely. If your itinerary includes stops in Chicago, be aware that some attractions require advance permits or reservations for bus parking.
