Mississauga's transit system is set to undergo a significant transformation with the infusion of $112 million in federal funding over the next decade. The funding, sourced from the Canada Public Transit Fund and the Zero Emissions Transit Fund, will enable MiWay to upgrade and modernize its fleet to meet the future demands of passengers, especially those residing in new housing along transit routes. A notable portion of the funds, almost $11 million, will be allocated towards acquiring 10 hydrogen fuel cell buses. These buses offer a cleaner fuel alternative, emitting only water and warm air as byproducts. The introduction of hydrogen fuel cell electric buses is expected to play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions across Mississauga. Notably, Mississauga is poised to become the first municipality in Ontario to showcase the commercial and technical feasibility of utilizing local green hydrogen as a fuel source for public transportation. Mayor Carolyn Parrish expressed enthusiasm for the investments, highlighting their role in enhancing affordability, public transit reliability, and the overall resilience of Mississauga as a city.
