"Gridlock is costing our economy billions of dollars every year and robbing Ontario drivers of valuable time and quality of life. He added the changes would help keep drivers moving across the province."
"Ministry of transportation modelling shows travel times would improve for drivers in HOV and regular lanes on major highways during off-peak hours. Once off-peak hours are defined, the Ford government would look to regulate the changes later this year and apply them to all existing and future HOV lanes."
Ontario's transportation minister announced that high-occupancy vehicle lanes will be opened to solo drivers during off-peak hours as part of efforts to reduce traffic congestion. The Ford government claims ministry modelling shows travel times would improve for drivers in both HOV and regular lanes during these periods. However, specific details about time savings and modelling methodology were not disclosed. The government has not yet defined which hours qualify as off-peak, stating this determination will follow consultations and traffic data analysis. Regulations implementing these changes across all existing and future HOV lanes are expected later in the year.
