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:

              4   Major SEMCOG Projects                          Figure 19, Reconstruction of I-96


              Recognizing the need to improve infrastructure in
              Southeast Michigan, Southeast Michigan Council of
              Governments (SEMCOG), along with Smart Growth
              America, sponsored a Transportation Demand
              Management Study in 2013. The four key projects
              detailed in this report are:
              1.  M-1 Rail on Woodward Avenue
              2.  I-96 major rehabilitation
              3.  I-94 reconstruction
              4.  I-75 major improvements

              The I-96 rehabilitation is geographically the closest                 Source: C.A. Hull webpage
              to Northville Township and focuses on the segment
              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
