Background

The Dundas BRT is planned to extend for 48 km along Dundas Street from Highway 6 in Hamilton to the Kipling Transit Hub in Toronto, including approximately 17 km in the City of Mississauga.

The Mississauga East segment of the Dundas BRT will run from the Etobicoke Creek to Confederation Parkway.

The Dundas BRT is part of a bold, forward-looking transportation plan aimed at creating stronger connections and providing fast, frequent and reliable transit to those in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Region.

Building upon the previous Dundas Connects (2018) Study, this work supports the municipal submission to the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program for the implementation of a segment of the Dundas BRT project in Mississauga from the eastern municipal border to Confederation Parkway.

This phase of work includes:

Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP is an expedited Environmental Assessment process in which the environmental effects of the project will be analyzed). Within Mississauga, the TPAP Notice of Commencement was issued on December 10, 2021 and is anticipated to be completed in early 2022
