Mississauaga Transitway
City of Mississauga, Mississauga
The Mississauga Transitway is a key rapid bus corridor within the City of Mississauga, supporting efficient east–west travel across the city. Spanning 18 kilometres and 12 stations, the Transitway plays a critical role in connecting residents, workers, and visitors to MiWay services and to the broader regional transit network.
KDA designed the comprehensive signage and wayfinding master plan for the City Centre Transit Terminal and the Mississauga Transitway stations, delivering a fully integrated interior and exterior system across the 18-kilometre corridor. The scope included system-wide strategy, sign typologies, visual language, implementation guidelines, and detailed technical drawings to tender and guide fabrication and installation, ensuring consistency across all stations and corridors. The result is a clear, user-focused wayfinding system that enhances the transit experience and supports seamless navigation across municipal and regional networks.
Clarity through Design
The system is designed to improve visibility, legibility, accessibility, and operational efficiency across stations, many of which have separate eastbound and westbound entrances. Station Beacons identify station locations from a distance and distinguish entrance directions, while Marker Signs provide route, schedule, and platform information visible from multiple directions. Pedestrian Directional signs guide users to transit services, bike facilities, key destinations, and connections, with walking times shown at decision points.
KDA is proud to support the City of Mississauga in enhancing the transit experience and advancing mobility and accessibility across the community.
Enhancing Services
Exterior Information Hubs consolidate station maps, system information, and fares in high-dwell areas, supporting trip planning before entry. Station Entrance Identification signage reinforces station names, travel direction, accessibility, BRT, and connecting services.
Digital Network
The program also integrates a digital network for real-time service information, including arrivals, departures, and route updates, enhancing overall customer experience. Together, the interior and exterior program provides a cohesive, intuitive wayfinding system across the Transitway corridor.
confident travel
Inside the stations, Interior Information Hubs indicate current location and direction of travel, while Platform Directional signs provide guidance to exits, streets, pick-up/drop-off areas, parking, other platforms, and connecting services.
Intuitive Framework
Designed to support clarity, accessibility, and ease of movement, the signage and wayfinding system establishes a cohesive, intuitive framework that strengthens connections to GO Transit, TTC, Brampton Transit, and the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, while accommodating future growth and service evolution.
