If you’re a Mississauga resident with an income below the Low Income Measure (LIM), you may be eligible for the Affordable Transit Program (ATP). This program offers a 50 per cent discount on PRESTO MiWay adult monthly passes.
Starting April 1, 2026, it will also include a 50 per cent discount on PRESTO single fares, helping make transit more affordable across the city.
Eligible adults can choose between a 50 per cent discount on a monthly pass or on single fares. Youth aged 13 to 19 can apply for a 50 per cent discount on single fares.
Discount programs are also available for GO Transit and Brampton Transit.
This program is a partnership between MiWay and the Peel Region.

Setting up the discount on PRESTO
Step 1: Wait until Peel Region confirms with you via an approval email that you are enrolled in the program.
Step 2: Ensure you have a registered PRESTO card for each approved applicant. You can buy a PRESTO card at any Customer Service Outlet or add a digital PRESTO card to an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for free. Once you have a card, register it by creating an account on the PRESTO website or app and add your card to the account.
Step 3: Once enrolled in the program, visit a service location with a registered PRESTO card, confirmation of your enrolment in the program and personal identification. Service locations include the MiWay Fares Booth at the City Centre Transit Terminal and the Open Window Hub at the Hazel McCallion Central Library.
If multiple applicants in the same household are enrolled in the program, only the main applicant needs to be present to set up the PRESTO cards and provide ID for each of the applicants.
