Community
 The Charter
Township of Northville is a vibrant, safe and attractive community.
The perfect place to live, work and play!
Northville Township was established in 1898 and became a Charter
Township in 1985. What was once a quaint farming region is today
a thriving residential and business community. Throughout our
community, signs of our rural heritage still exist, including rambling
farm houses on unpaved roads, traditional neighborhoods and an open
landscape. Today, Northville Township's master plan allows for
planned growth that preserves wooded areas and open space, and protect
our waterways.

Carpooling to work saves money!
 Everyone is looking for ways
to save money. SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments,
has a great idea that can save commuters nearly $3,000 a year. Carpool
to work…and find a carpool partner through MiRideshare!
MiRideshare has served Southeast Michigan commuters since 1980 with a
free, safe carpool matching program. In these challenging economic
times, sharing a ride to work has many advantages – it saves money,
decreases commuter stress, and is good for the environment. Find a
carpool partner through MiRideshare’s easy-to-use online matching
software. Those in the database are also eligible for incentives and
prizes in addition to saving money.
Students, volunteers, employees – any commuter over age 18 with a
regular schedule whose work/school location falls within Livingston,
Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties –
can use this service. You can carpool all the time, or just a few days
a week. Carpooling is as flexible as you need it to be since you work
out the details of your commute with potential partners.
And in the event of an emergency, MiRideshare offers “commuter
insurance” through the Guaranteed Ride Home program. We’ll get you
home safely if you need to leave early or work late with free taxi
rides up to six times per year.
According to the AAA, a commuter who drives alone to work (25 miles
one-way) spends about $5,800 per year on gas, maintenance, taxes,
depreciation, and finance costs. That same commuter can save as much
as 50 percent of these costs by carpooling with just one other person!
No matter how high gas prices go, sharing a ride is a great value.
Commuters may also be able to save more once out of the ride alone
commute by letting their auto insurance know about their new commute
status. Many offer discounts for lower mileage usage on vehicles.
It’s easy to get started. Go to www.semcog.org and click on
MiRideshare under “Hot Topics.” There, you’ll also find our get
started video. Please call us with questions at 866-510-POOL.
SEMCOG is a regional planning partnership of local governmental units
serving 4.9 million people in the seven-county region of Southeast
Michigan striving to enhance the region’s quality of life. Our
community is a proud member of SEMCOG.
