Conan Smith, a businessperson quoted in a 2012 article by ''[[The Ann Arbor News]]'', stated the most significant reason [[Washtenaw County, Michigan|Washtenaw County]], including Ann Arbor, is not often included in definitions of Metro Detroit is that there is a "lack of affinity that Washtenaw County as a whole has with Wayne County and Detroit or Oakland County and Macomb".<ref name="stanton"/> Ann Arbor is nearly 43 miles by car from [[Downtown Detroit]], and developed separately as a university city, with its own character.

===Transit systems===
Bus service for the metropolitan area is provided jointly by the [[Detroit Department of Transportation]] (DDOT) and [[Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation]] (SMART) which operate under a cooperative service and fare agreement. The elevated [[Detroit People Mover]] encircles [[Downtown Detroit|downtown]] providing service to numerous downtown hotels, offices and attractions. The [[Detroit M-1 Rail Line|Woodward Avenue Streetcar]] has recently began service to provide service between downtown and New Center, and the proposed [[SEMCOG Commuter Rail]] would extend from Detroit's [[New Center, Detroit|New Center]] area to [[The Henry Ford]], [[Dearborn, Michigan|Dearborn]], [[Detroit Metropolitan Airport]], [[Ypsilanti, Michigan|Ypsilanti]], and [[Ann Arbor, Michigan|Ann Arbor]]<ref name=SEMCOGrail>[http://www.semcog.org/AADD.aspx Ann Arbor - Detroit Regional Rail Project] ''SEMCOG''.

The Metro Detroit area is linked by an advanced network of major roads and [[freeways]] which include [[Interstate highway]]s. Traditionally, Detroiters refer to some of their freeways by name rather than route number. The Davison, Lodge, and Southfield freeways are almost always referred to by name rather than route number. Detroiters commonly precede freeway names with the word 'the' as in the Lodge, the Southfield, and the Davison. Those without names are referred to by number.
Surface street navigation in Metro Detroit is commonly anchored by "mile roads", major east–west surface streets that are spaced at one-mile (1.6 km) intervals and increment as one travels north and away from the city center. Mile roads sometimes have two names, the numeric name (ex. 15 Mile Road) used in Macomb County and a local name (ex. Maple Road) used in Oakland County mostly.

* Macomb County is largely served by [[area code 586|586]].
* Genesee, St. Clair, and Lapeer counties, eastern Livingston County, and part of northern Oakland County are covered by [[area code 810|810]].
* Washtenaw, Monroe, and most of the Wayne County suburbs are in the [[area code 734|734]] area.
* The Windsor area (and most of southwestern Ontario) is served by an overlay complex of three codes—[[Area codes 519, 226 and 548|519, 226, and 548]].

[[M-3 (Michigan highway)|Gratiot]], Beaubien, St. Antoine, Cadieux). Later came an influx of persons of British and German descent, followed by [[Polish American|Polish]], [[Irish American|Irish]], [[Italian American|Italian]], [[Lebanese American|Lebanese]], [[Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriac-Americans|Assyrian/Chaldean]], [[Greek American|Greek]], [[Jewish American|Jewish]], and [[Belgian American|Belgian]] immigrants who made their way to the area in the early 20th century and during and after [[World War II]].<ref name=Baulch>Baulch, Vivian M.

===Airports===
[[File:DTW McNamara Terminal from the air.jpg|thumb|[[Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport|Detroit Metropolitan Airport]], one of the largest air traffic hubs in the US.]]
The largest airport in the area is [[Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport|Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)]] in [[Romulus, Michigan|Romulus]], an [[international airport]] that serves as a commercial hub for [[Delta Air Lines]] and [[Spirit Airlines]].
The other airports in the metropolitan area are:
* [[Ann Arbor Municipal Airport|Ann Arbor Municipal Airport (ARB)]]
* [[Coleman A. Young International Airport|Coleman A. Young International Airport (DET)]] (Detroit) - General aviation only
* [[Bishop International Airport|Flint-Bishop International Airport(FNT)]] ([[Flint, Michigan|Flint]]) - Commercial airport
* [[Oakland County International Airport|Oakland County International Airport (PTK)]] [[Waterford Township, Michigan|Waterford Township]] - Charter passenger facility

===Transit systems===
Bus service for the metropolitan area is provided jointly by the [[Detroit Department of Transportation]] (DDOT) and [[Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation]] (SMART) which operate under a cooperative service and fare agreement. The elevated [[Detroit People Mover]] encircles [[Downtown Detroit|downtown]] providing service to numerous downtown hotels, offices and attractions. The [[Detroit M-1 Rail Line|Woodward Avenue Streetcar]] has recently began service to provide service between downtown and New Center, and the proposed [[SEMCOG Commuter Rail]] would extend from Detroit's [[New Center, Detroit|New Center]] area to [[The Henry Ford]], [[Dearborn, Michigan|Dearborn]], [[Detroit Metropolitan Airport]], [[Ypsilanti, Michigan|Ypsilanti]], and [[Ann Arbor, Michigan|Ann Arbor]]<ref name=SEMCOGrail>[http://www.semcog.org/AADD.aspx Ann Arbor - Detroit Regional Rail Project] ''SEMCOG''. Retrieved on February 4, 2010.</ref> The [[Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan|Regional Transit Authority]] (RTA) was established in December 2012 to coordinate the services of all existing transit providers, and to develop a [[bus rapid transit]] service along [[Woodward Avenue]].
===Roads and freeways===

The Metro Detroit area is linked by an advanced network of major roads and [[freeways]] which include [[Interstate highway]]s. Traditionally, Detroiters refer to some of their freeways by name rather than route number. The Davison, Lodge, and Southfield freeways are almost always referred to by name rather than route number. Detroiters commonly precede freeway names with the word 'the' as in the Lodge, the Southfield, and the Davison. Those without names are referred to by number.
Surface street navigation in Metro Detroit is commonly anchored by "mile roads", major east–west surface streets that are spaced at one-mile (1.6 km) intervals and increment as one travels north and away from the city center. Mile roads sometimes have two names, the numeric name (ex. 15 Mile Road) used in Macomb County and a local name (ex. Maple Road) used in Oakland County mostly.

==Area codes==
Metro Detroit is served by nine [[telephone]] area codes (six not including Windsor). The [[area code 313|313]] area code, which used to encompass all of Southeast Michigan, is today confined exclusively to the City of Detroit and several neighboring Wayne County suburbs.
* The [[Area codes 248 and 947|248]] area code along with the newer [[Area codes 248 and 947|947]] [[Overlay plan|area code overlay]] mostly serve Oakland County.
* Macomb County is largely served by [[area code 586|586]].
* Genesee, St. Clair, and Lapeer counties, eastern Livingston County, and part of northern Oakland County are covered by [[area code 810|810]].
* Washtenaw, Monroe, and most of the Wayne County suburbs are in the [[area code 734|734]] area.
* The Windsor area (and most of southwestern Ontario) is served by an overlay complex of three codes—[[Area codes 519, 226 and 548|519, 226, and 548]].

<p>The Metro Detroit area is linked by an advanced network of major roads and <a href="/wiki/Freeways" class="mw-redirect" title="Freeways">freeways</a> which include <a href="/wiki/Interstate_highway" class="mw-redirect" title="Interstate highway">Interstate highways</a>. Traditionally, Detroiters refer to some of their freeways by name rather than route number. The Davison, Lodge, and Southfield freeways are almost always referred to by name rather than route number. Detroiters commonly precede freeway names with the word 'the' as in the Lodge, the Southfield, and the Davison. Those without names are referred to by number.
</p><p>Surface street navigation in Metro Detroit is commonly anchored by "mile roads", major east–west surface streets that are spaced at one-mile (1.6 km) intervals and increment as one travels north and away from the city center. Mile roads sometimes have two names, the numeric name (ex. 15 Mile Road) used in Macomb County and a local name (ex. Maple Road) used in Oakland County mostly.
