Route and fare planning

Why should you work backward from the Windsor train departure to the real campus pickup?

A university name is not a pickup point. The plan starts with the exact building and passenger-ready time, then protects the traveller's selected station margin through Michigan roads and Canadian inspection.

  • Exact University of Michigan-Dearborn pickup
  • Dearborn, Michigan route and Canadian border
  • Windsor VIA Rail station arrival
  1. Pickup

    Send the departing train and intended station margin

    Include the train number, scheduled departure, travellers, luggage, and the time the passenger wants to be ready at Windsor station.

  2. On the way

    Confirm the University of Michigan-Dearborn pickup entrance

    U-M Dearborn uses a main campus and separate Fairlane Center buildings. Provide the exact building, entrance, visitor appointment, residence or nearby hotel, and any current construction or access instructions. Include checkout, move-out, appointment, or event-release timing.

  3. Arrival

    Plan the Michigan drive and Canadian inspection

    The Dearborn approach depends on the selected tunnel or bridge, inspection, I-94 or Michigan Avenue conditions, campus construction, and the confirmed building entrance. The station arrival is not based on drive time alone.
