The program will provide a 50 per cent discount on PRESTO single fares for low-income adult and youth riders, making transit a more affordable option for travel in Mississauga.
March 23, 2026
The Affordable Transit Program (ATP), which launched as a pilot in 2014, is a partnership between the City of Mississauga and Peel Region. The program provides a 50 per cent discount on MiWay adult monthly passes for eligible Mississauga residents.
Starting April 1, the program will also offer a 50 per cent discount on PRESTO single fares for eligible youth and for adult riders. This will provide them with more ways to pay their fare on MiWay. This also helps make transit more equitable for those who may not need a monthly pass for their travels in Mississauga. More riders will be able to benefit from discounted transit fares and move around the city and beyond with greater support and confidence.
Getting a PRESTO card
Riders will need a PRESTO card to apply to the program. Add a digital PRESTO card to an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for free, or purchase a physical card for $4 from a customer service outlet.

One Fare Program

On Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22, planned construction is taking place on Lakeshore West, as part of GO Expansion, with work continuing at Long Branch GO and on the Burloak Drive underpass to support faster and more frequent service. Crews are also doing necessary state of good repair work to keep infrastructure that supports service on Lakeshore West safe and reliable, including work at the Etobicoke Creek bridge and Bronte Creek.
Some late-night service adjustments will also be in effect on Friday, March 20. GO bus replacements will stop at West Harbour, Aldershot, Burlington, Appleby, Bronte, Oakville, Clarkson, and Port Credit GO stations.
At the March 3 Transit Advisory Committee meeting, MiWay presented the 2025 Report to the Community.
The report answers the fundamental question: How did we make transit better for our community in 2025?
MiWay’s work in 2025 marked a significant shift from vision‑setting to practical, meaningful action. Throughout the year, MiWay strengthened day‑to‑day service, responded directly to community feedback, and enhanced both customer and employee experiences. These efforts delivered tangible results, including a 54% reduction in overcrowding on the busiest routes, upgrades to 155 landing pads, the installation of 70 new shelters, and achieving 99.4% accessibility across all bus stops. It brings to light the challenges we continue to have with capacity and customer satisfaction with reliability and communication.
