Special Transit Pass Offers Youth the Opportunity to Explore Mississauga for Free

For a third straight year, the City of Mississauga is offering the Freedom Pass to youth ages 12 to 14. This popular pass provides incentives like swimming for free at City pools and riding MiWay free all summer long. The pass begins on July 1 and is valid through to August 31.

“The Freedom Pass allows youth who are transitioning to high school to experience the freedom of travelling on MiWay throughout Mississauga,” said Geoff Marinoff, Director, Transit. “This program makes it easy for youth to meet with friends for a swim at their community swimming pool and see how easy it is to ride MiWay, including accessing real-time schedules on their mobile devices.”

Applications for the Freedom Pass start on Monday, May 1 (10,000 passes are available).
