Clearline Civic helps townships track their infrastructure, plan maintenance, and make confident decisions about how to spend every dollar. No more spreadsheets. No more guesswork.
Township boards juggle a lot: aging roads, crumbling chip seal, budget season pressure, and the question that keeps coming up at every meeting — "which road do we fix next?"
Most townships manage all of this with paper records, scattered spreadsheets, and institutional memory that walks out the door every time a supervisor's term ends.
We built Clearline Civic because we believe there's a better way — and it shouldn't take a six-figure budget or an IT department to get there.
Three things that change how your board makes decisions.
Every road in one place — with condition, maintenance history, and what's coming due. No more digging through filing cabinets or relying on someone's memory.
See what maintenance is overdue, what's coming up, and what it'll cost. Build a 5-year plan you can actually present at your next board meeting.
Track work orders from plan to completion. Compare estimated vs. actual costs. Show your residents exactly where their levy dollars go.
Clearline Civic was founded by three people who saw the same problem from different angles.
Bill has spent years in the chair — managing road budgets, fielding resident concerns, and making maintenance decisions with incomplete information. He knows what township boards actually need.
Zach brings the engineering rigor — maintenance schedules, cost models, and infrastructure planning grounded in how roads actually behave over time.
Sam leads the product and engineering side, turning Bill and Zach's domain expertise into software that's simple enough for anyone on a township board to use.
Clearline Civic is in active development, and we're looking for a small group of townships to partner with us. Early partners get free access to the platform, a direct line to our team, and a real say in what we build next.
If your township manages roads and you've ever wished you had a better system for keeping track of it all — we'd love to hear from you.
