Highway 407 ETR Launches Free Monthly Travel Program for Low-Income Drivers
Participants may qualify for up to six complimentary trips per month through this program.
In a new initiative aimed at easing financial burdens, Highway 407 ETR has announced its Route Relief Program, which will provide free travel for eligible low-income drivers. As detailed in a press release on November 4, participants may qualify for up to six complimentary trips per month through this program.
Highway 407 ETR, a 108-kilometre toll highway that extends from Burlington to Pickering, operates with an all-electronic tolling system and is widely used by Ontario commuters. Recognizing the growing financial pressures on households, the Route Relief Program is set to offer tangible support to qualifying drivers who depend on the highway for essential trips.
Eligibility for the Route Relief Program is determined based on Statistics Canada’s low-income threshold, which currently stands at an annual income of $28,863 for individuals. Family income limits adjust according to household size, aligning with provincial standards. Eligible applicants must also be Ontario residents, hold a personal-use vehicle registered in their name, and have no outstanding balance with 407 ETR.
