Figure 18, Regional Transit Authority of
0 Public Transit Stops Southeast Michigan Proposed Network
The existing public transportation system provided by the
Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan does not
currently offer any stops in Northville Township. However,
the Regional Transit Plan adopted in 2016 included a
detailed map of transit stops, a portion of which is shown
in Figure 18. As proposed, a local Northville bus would
connect riders to cross-county connector buses with
service to the Bus Rapid Transit system connecting into
Detroit.
While no local or regional public transit is currently
available in Northville Township, a Senior Transportation
Service is available to Northville Community residents
age 65+ and residents with a documented disability.
This service is jointly funded by Suburban Mobility
Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART), St.
Mary Mercy Livonia as part of the St. Joseph Mercy
Health System (SJMHS), Oakland and Wayne Counties,
Northville Township and the City of Northville. (Sources:

detailed in this report are:
1. M-1 Rail on Woodward Avenue
2. I-96 major rehabilitation

from I-275 to downtown Detroit. The reconstruction
of seven miles of I-96 was completed in 2015 and had
a total investment of $149 million. (Sources: SEMCOG
