In a significant move to alleviate commuting costs, the Ontario government has permanently removed tolls from Highways 412 and 418.

Additionally, the province has extended the temporary gas and fuel tax rate cuts until June 30, 2025. This extension maintains the reduced tax rate of 9 cents per litre, saving Ontario households an average of $380 since the cuts were first introduced in July 2022. (Caroline Mulroney, MPP)
