**Dee Road** is one of two commuter railroad stations on [Metra](/source/Metra)'s [Union Pacific Northwest Line](/source/Union_Pacific_Northwest_Line) in the city of [Park Ridge, Illinois](/source/Park_Ridge%2C_Illinois). It is officially located at 881 North Dee Road, and is 15.1 miles (24.3 km) from [Ogilvie Transportation Center](/source/Ogilvie_Transportation_Center) in [Chicago](/source/Chicago).[3] In Metra's zone-based fare system, Dee Road is in zone 2. As of 2018[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dee_Road_station&action=edit), Dee Road is the 85th busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 594 weekday boardings.[2]

As of May 30, 2023, Dee Road is served by 50 trains (25 in each direction) on weekdays, by 31 trains (16 inbound, 15 outbound) on Saturdays, and by 19 trains (nine inbound, 10 outbound) on Sundays.

The station was rebuilt in 2006 as a replacement for the former station on the opposite side of Dee Road, built by the [Chicago and North Western Railway](/source/Chicago_and_North_Western_Railway) in 1967.

The smaller parking area between Dee Road and Rowe Avenue, where the old station used to be, was recommended by Metra, as well as parking at nearby [Park Ridge](/source/Park_Ridge_station_(Illinois)). Bus connections are provided by [Pace](/source/Pace_(transit)).
