As of 2018, North Glenview is the 34th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 1,163 weekday boardings.[1]

It is proposed that the Amtrak trains, theHiawatha ServiceandEmpire Builder,which currently serveGlenview,one stop south, would shift here. This move would eliminate lengthy stops which block traffic on Glenview Road. This move would involve reconstruction of the North Glenview station to handle the additional traffic, and depends on commitments from Glenview, theIllinois General Assemblyand Metra.[3]
