Bonnie Crombie Unveils Mississauga Moves 2.0: A Plan to Bring the Subway to Downtown Mississauga, Cut Congestion and Get Mississauga Moving Again

MISSISSAUGA, ON — September 24, 2026 — Mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie today unveiled Mississauga Moves 2.0, a comprehensive transportation plan to reduce congestion, expand rapid transit, improve the city's road network and give residents more time back in their day.

The centrepiece of the plan is a proposal to extend Toronto's Line 2 subway west from Kipling through Sherway Gardens and into the heart of Mississauga, creating a direct connection between the city and Toronto's subway network.

The plan also proposes a city-wide congestion reduction program, more frequent MiWay service, better connections to Pearson International Airport and Brampton, a practical strategy to expand Milton GO service and greater accountability for delivering the long-delayed Hazel McCallion Line.

“Mississauga residents are spending too much of their lives sitting in traffic. Whether you are driving to work, taking the bus, getting your kids to school or trying to get home to your family, congestion is costing you time and money,” said Crombie.

“Mississauga is one of Canada's largest cities. We deserve a transportation network that reflects that. It is time to bring the subway to the heart of Mississauga, get our transit projects finished and make our roads work better for everyone.”

Bringing the subway to the heart of Mississauga

Crombie's proposal would bring the Toronto subway into Mississauga for the first time, creating a direct connection between downtown Mississauga and Toronto's subway network.

Toronto has already directed planning work on a potential Line 2 extension to Sherway Gardens. Crombie is proposing that Mississauga work with Toronto and the province to examine extending the line farther west into Mississauga.

Within her first year, Crombie would seek a formal partnership with Ontario, Metrolinx, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to launch a comprehensive business case examining the proposed extension, including potential routes, station locations, ridership, costs and construction options.

The study would specifically examine the potential for elevated subway construction along appropriate sections of the Dundas corridor, rather than assuming the entire extension must be built underground.

The proposed extension would also be planned as part of an integrated regional transportation network, connecting with existing and planned rapid transit, including the Hazel McCallion Line, the Mississauga Transitway and MiWay.

“Vaughan is on the subway map. Scarborough is getting a major subway extension. Mississauga should be part of that conversation too,” said Crombie.

“I want to see a future where you can board the subway in the heart of Mississauga and ride directly into Toronto. We need to start the planning now, examine every reasonable construction option and build the partnerships and funding necessary to make it happen.”

Getting the Hazel McCallion Line open and making transit work better

Crombie is calling for the initial Hazel McCallion Line to open for passenger service no later than December 31, 2028, following years of construction and delays.

Within her first 100 days, she would ask Metrolinx and the provincial government to publish a transparent delivery schedule identifying the remaining construction, testing and commissioning milestones.

She would also press for stronger transit signal priority to prevent trains from repeatedly stopping at traffic lights, work toward five-minute peak service as ridership and operations permit and push for timely completion of the provincially funded downtown loop.

Beyond the light rail line, Mississauga Moves 2.0 proposes a connected rapid-transit network across the city, including stronger east-west service along Dundas and Derry, improved north-south connections to Brampton and more frequent MiWay service.

The plan calls for 15-minute-or-better all-day service on major MiWay corridors and 10-minute-or-better service on the busiest routes where ridership supports it.

A new Airport Workforce Transit Network would connect Pearson and surrounding employment areas to Malton, Renforth, Derry, Dixie, Matheson, Courtneypark and City Centre, with service designed around the early mornings, late evenings, weekends and shift changes of airport workers.

Crombie would also advocate for completing the Eglinton Crosstown West connection from Renforth to Pearson.

“Major transit projects matter, but residents cannot wait another 15 years for better transportation,” said Crombie. “We need buses that come frequently, trains that move quickly and connections that actually work. You should not have to own a car just to get to your job at Pearson or spend an hour making a trip across Mississauga.”

A practical plan for better GO service

Mississauga Moves 2.0 also calls for a new approach to expanding service on the Milton GO Line, where six of the eight stations are located in Mississauga.

Rather than making all-day, two-way service entirely dependent on the proposed Missing Link freight bypass, Crombie would seek a new Milton Line Capacity Plan with Ontario, Metrolinx and Canadian Pacific Kansas City.

The plan would identify incremental infrastructure improvements and negotiated operating arrangements that could progressively deliver more counter-peak, midday, evening and weekend passenger service.

Crombie would also press for electrification and more frequent service on Lakeshore West and the Kitchener Line, including better regional rail connections through Malton.

Traffic Flow First: Fixing congestion on Mississauga's roads

Recognizing that most Mississauga households and businesses continue to depend on vehicles, Crombie is proposing Traffic Flow First, a city-wide program to improve traffic movement using the road network the city already has.

The program would modernize and synchronize traffic signals, expand adaptive signal technology, identify and address chronic bottlenecks and improve coordination of road construction.

It would also strengthen enforcement against vehicles and construction activity blocking travel lanes during peak periods and examine targeted road improvements where they can meaningfully reduce congestion.

An annual Mississauga Congestion Report Card would publicly measure travel times, delays, transit reliability, construction impacts and progress on improving the transportation network.

“Better transit and better roads are not competing priorities. They are two parts of the same solution,” said Crombie.

“Giving more people a realistic alternative to driving means fewer vehicles competing for road space. But we also need to fix poorly coordinated traffic lights, address bottlenecks and stop allowing construction projects to unnecessarily gridlock entire neighbourhoods. City Hall needs to focus on results, not excuses.”

Building on the original Mississauga Moves

In 2014, Crombie launched the original Mississauga Moves, a 20-year vision for more than 100 kilometres of integrated rapid transit.

During her time as Mayor, she delivered on that commitment and secured the funding from provincial and federal governments to make it happen. The Mississauga Transitway was completed, the Hazel McCallion Line secured full funding and moved into construction and major planning advanced on additional rapid-transit corridors.

Mississauga Moves 2.0 builds on that foundation with a renewed emphasis on completing the city's rapid-transit network, improving existing services and ensuring that transportation investments support new housing and employment growth.

“Mississauga Moves was about building a transportation network worthy of the major city we had become. A decade later, we have made important progress, but we have much more to do,” said Crombie.

“My vision is a Mississauga where you can take the subway from the heart of our city into Toronto, catch a reliable bus to work, get to Pearson without a car and drive across our city without sitting in unnecessary congestion.

“Less time sitting in traffic. More time living your life. That is how we get Mississauga moving again.”
