The part of Ontario’s Highway 407 that the province owns is now officially toll-free as of Sunday.
This change, which was announced in the Progressive Conservative government’s budget last month, came into effect on June 1.
The budget has permanently removed tolls from the provincially managed section of Highway 407 East between Pickering and Clarington.
Premier Doug Ford had earlier promised this move during the provincial election campaign as a way to help drivers.
The province believes that getting rid of the tolls will save daily commuters around $7,200 every year.
A Ministry of Transportation report from 2021 estimated those tolls would bring in about $72 million in revenue for the province in 2024-25.
