Drive Free on 407 East! Tolls Removed Brock Rd to Hwy 35/115 – June 1, 2025

1. Highway 407 East Tolls Removed:

Tolls will be removed from the provincially-owned portion of Highway 407 East (Brock Road to Highway 35/115) effective June 1, 2025.
This fulfills an election promise by the Ford government.
Tolls will remain on the privately-owned sections of Hwy 407.

2. Gas Tax Cut Made Permanent:

The temporary cut of 5.7 cents/litre on gas and 5.3 cents/litre on diesel, introduced in July 2022, will be made permanent in the 2025 budget.

The cut has already cost the government $1.7 billion since its introduction.

3. Estimated Savings:
The gas tax cut could save households around $115/year on average.

Removal of Hwy 407 East tolls could save daily commuters up to $7,200/year.

4. Budget Context:

These changes will be included in Ontario’s 2025 budget.

Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy is set to deliver the budget on Thursday.

5. Ford’s Justification:
Ford stated these measures aim to “put money back into taxpayers’ pockets.”
He emphasized that it is “taxpayers’ money, not the government’s.”

6. Transportation Projects:
Ford confirmed plans to build a tunnel under Highway 401 to relieve congestion.
He stated Hwy 401 is already overcapacity and the project would be simpler than subway digs.
