The provincially owned portion of Highway 407 is officially toll-free as of today.The move, announced as part of the Progressive Conservative government’s budget last month, took effect June 1.The budget permanently removed tolls from the provincially operated Highway 407 East from Pickering to Clarington.Premier Doug Ford had promised the move earlier this year during the provincial election campaign as a way to provide relief for drivers.As of today, we’ve taken tolls off Highway 407 East, saving daily commuters $7,200 each year.That means that there isn’t a single publicly-owned tolled highway anywhere in Ontario – and under our government, there never will be again. pic.twitter.com/7cd41ix3zK— Doug Ford (@fordnation) June 1, 2025The province estimates removing the tolls would save daily commuters around $7,200 annually.A Ministry of Transportation report in 2021 projected those tolls would generate around $72 million in provincial revenue in 2024-25.
