Getting In, Getting Around Troy

Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) operates local and regional bus transit.

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 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 Metro Airport, take I-94 east to Southfield Freeway north. Take Southfield Freeway north to Southfield Road. Take Southfield Road north to I-696 east to I-75 north to Big Beaver exit, #69.

Oakland-Troy Airport is a small suburban general aviation airport operated by Oakland County and has a single 3550 ft x 60 ft (1082 m x 18 m) paved runway. The Oakland-Troy Airport is considered the County's 'executive' airport. Business travelers and tourists using private, corporate and charter aircraft benefit from the airport's convenient proximity to business, recreation and entertainment facilities. It is located between Maple Road and 14 Mile Road. Charter passenger, air freight, as well as aircraft maintenance and fuel, are available on the field. Troy was also home to the Big Beaver Airport, which was located at the corners of Big Beaver Road and John R Road. It opened in 1946 and closed in 1995 due to declining use and pressure to sell the land for commercial development
