Ontario's Ford government is making strides in easing the burden on drivers with a plan to make the gas tax cut permanent and eliminate tolls on Highway 407. Initially reduced in July 2022, the gas tax will stay at nine cents per litre, providing ongoing financial relief. Additionally, tolls will be removed from the Highway 407 East, supporting the government's election promises and aiming to enhance the affordability of commuting for Ontarians. Despite projected revenue losses, these measures reflect a commitment to improving citizens' economic conditions.
