Mimico GO is open and in-service for customers. We’re working to upgrade Mimico GO to ensure barrier-free access for customers. Currently trains at Mimico GO can't deploy ramps from the train to the platform, and the station doesn’t have a step-free route between platforms and street level.
In the meantime, while Mimico GO does not have step-free access, please use Union Station or Port Credit GO as accessible alternatives.
Here’s what you need to know to plan an accessible trip:
Connecting to/from Union Station:
- Eligible customers can book an accessible trip via TTC Wheel-Trans to/from Union Station or Union Station Bus Terminal.
- Customers not eligible for TTC Wheel-Trans should use conventional TTC services to/from Union Station.
Connecting to/from Port Credit GO:
- Eligible customers can book an accessible trip via TTC Wheel-Trans to/from Long Branch Loop. Customers can use MiWay Bus Route #23 – Lakeshore to travel between Long Branch Loop and Port Credit GO, in either direction.
- Customers not eligible for TTC Wheel-Trans should use conventional TTC and/or MiWay services.
Customers can use TTC, TTC Wheel-Trans and MiWay to travel for free with One Fare when connecting with participating transit agencies including GO Transit and paying with PRESTO (tapping with a physical PRESTO card, digital PRESTO card in Mobile Wallet or credit or debit card). If you’re travelling on TransHelp, while PRESTO is not available you still qualify for free travel using One Fare and will not be charged a fare when connecting with participating transit agencies including GO Transit.

Plans for accessibility upgrades at Mimico GO Station
Metrolinx places a high priority on ensuring that everyone, regardless of age or ability, has full access to our transit services. There shouldn’t be barriers to safe, convenient and easy travel across our transit network.
- Metrolinx has awarded a contract to complete design work for accessibility upgrades at Mimico GO Station.
- The station improvement project will provide better connections and improved amenities to ensure a seamless and barrier-free experience for customers travelling across the GO network.
The proposed improvements at Mimico GO Station include
- A new east connection with elevator and stair access to the platform level to provide an accessible route to all platforms, with customer access from both sides of the rail corridor
- A new south entrance at Manchester St. and Blue Goose St. with elevator and stair connections to the platforms
- Platform upgrades, including tactile walking surface indicators at the edge of the platform
- Accessibility and customer experience upgrades to the platforms and shelters
Once the development phase is complete, the contractor will provide Metrolinx with an estimated construction schedule and associated costs for the proposed work, and if accepted, will be awarded a contract for construction of the work next year.
