The newly introduced Red Route terminated approximately a mile northeast of the station, at Main/Calumet intersection.

Riders could take the Red Route to Munster, Hammond and Chicago's East Side neighborhood.

They could also transfer to other EasyGo routes and connect to other towns and cities throughout Lake County.

[5] The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) had proposed a line to Lowell, Indiana which ran adjacent to the station, but Dyer's Amtrak station is not a planned stop.

The first section of the West Lake Corridor is expected to terminate about 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) north of the station by 2025.
