This BRT project will improve local and inter-regional bus
operations across the City of Mississauga and the GTA. A service
concept was developed in consultation with Mississauga and GO Bus
Transit Planning staff, and was modelled from successful transit
systems from progressive municipalities around the world to increase
reliability, reduce travel times, and enhance convenience and
accessibility. Mississauga MiWay will operate on the BRT servicing
all stops. GO Transit will operate on the BRT with stops at Winston
Churchill, Erin Mills, Dixie and Renforth. The BRT system will
connect with local bus services and inter-regional transit and
subway systems, making it easier and faster for people to travel
across the GTA to home, work and school.
Twelve designated stations will provide key connection points.
Several stations will feature passenger pick up and drop off
capabilities and/or park ‘n’ ride facilities.

Improvements
- Optimizing operational efficiency by creating
dedicated bus lanes on a busy roadway
- Increasing reliability and on-time performance
- Reducing congestion on city streets
Project Description
GO Transit is undertaking an Environmental
Assessment in accordance with Ontario’s Transit Project
Assessment Process (TPAP) to introduce bus access roads
to link the future Mississauga Bus Rapid Transit Station
with major roads in the area.
Location: The study area spans the
intersection of Matheson Boulevard East with Eglinton
Avenue and Renforth Drive. The area is bounded by
Highway 401 on the North and Eglinton Avenue on the
South.
Project Stage:
The Notice of Study Completion for Renforth Gateway TPAP
was issued on September 14th, 2011. The 30-day review
period for the Environmental Project Report (EPR) ended
on October 14th, 2011.
Current Status: On November 16th,

The Mississauga BRT is a transportation infrastructure investment
of approximately $259 million. The federal government is
contributing up to $83 million to the City of Mississauga and GO
Transit through the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund. The
Province of Ontario has already provided $65 million to the City of
Mississauga to support the project and is contributing another $48
million in GO Transit investments. The City of Mississauga will fund
the rest of the project costs.
