Toronto city council has approved several initiatives to tackle ongoing traffic congestion, primarily caused by construction work. In 2025, new technology will be used to enhance transit efficiency and traffic management. A designated traffic 'czar' will be appointed to oversee these efforts and collaborate across city divisions. Despite these plans, officials recognize that while they aim to improve conditions, they will not completely eliminate congestion. This ongoing gridlock costs the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area approximately $44.7 billion annually, impacting productivity and quality of life for commuters.
Gridlock costs the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) $44.7 billion a year in economic and social value, which includes lost productivity.
