Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles Vows to Make Highway 407 Toll-Free if Elected
“As your next Premier, I will make the 407 toll-free, put money back in your pockets, and get you home to your loved ones faster.”
Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles vowed to eliminate tolls on Highway 407 if her party forms the next provincial government in an announcement today in Brampton. Flanked by Brampton NDP candidates Martin Singh (Brampton East), Ruby Zaman (Brampton North), and Sukhamrit Singh (Brampton Centre), Stiles positioned the pledge as a cornerstone of her campaign to support hardworking families and tackle GTA congestion.
“Drivers here in Brampton and across the GTA are stuck paying the highest tolls in North America thanks to bad deals made by Conservative governments of the past, and defended by Ford’s Conservatives today,” said Stiles. “As your next Premier, I will make the 407 toll-free, put money back in your pockets, and get you home to your loved ones faster.”
Ontario, I’ll get rid of tolls on the 407. Permanently.

The NDP’s multi-step plan begins with the removal of tolls for trucks on the provincially owned portion of Highway 407 on day one of taking office. This measure is designed to divert heavy vehicles from the congested Highway 401, Canada’s busiest highway. Within the first 100 days, Stiles promises to open negotiations with 407 ETR, the private operators of the highway, to make the entire stretch toll-free for all vehicles.
