To celebrate Clean Air Day, on June 6, employees of MiWay will be at four transit terminals this Wednesday and Thursday to thank customers for using transit and contributing to clean air in Mississauga.

"We thank all of our loyal customers for choosing to ride with MiWay," said Geoff Marinoff, director, Transit. "Reducing vehicular emissions is the most important way to help improve Mississauga's air quality, and our customers contribute to this every day by taking public transit."
