Getting In, Getting Around Livonia

Livonia enjoys unmatched accessibility. The City's strategic location offers easy east-west access via the Jeffries Expressway (I-96) and north-south transportation on the I-275 expressway. Major highways and interstates fan out in every direction providing convenient drive times.

Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is the largest airport in the area and it's located in Romulus, about 20 minutes west of the city, at the junction between I-275 and I-94. It is a Northwest hub and features the recently opened McNamara Terminal.

From Detroit Metropolitan Airport: take Interstate 94 west to Interstate 275 North. Follow I-275 west to exit 170 (Six Mile Road) and turn left off exit.

Automobiles are virtually a necessity for travel in the Detroit area. Public transportation is practically non-existent when compared to other metropolitan areas of similar size. Detroit suburbs spread over a large area, and getting around may prove to be difficult without a car. Nonetheless, an extensive highway system and ample parking make the region one of the most auto-friendly in North America.

Detroit has an abundance of taxi, limo, and shuttle services. Car rental prices are reasonable. Ask your auto insurance agent for a complementary Canadian insurance ID card, if you plan to drive to Windsor. When buying extra rental car insurance, you can ask for coverage to drive in Windsor.

SMART bus (Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation) provides a large number of transportation options.
