1 week ago Highway 407 ETR hiking rates for 2026 and here's what it'll cost Ontario drivers

Motorists will have to shell out more to use the 407 ETR toll highway in Ontario starting in the new year.The 407 ETR — a popular alternative to the gridlocked Highway 401 — has dropped its 2026 toll rate and fees schedule, revealing an increase in costs that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.Per-kilometre fees for light vehicles currently range between roughly 50 cents and one dollar across the 407 ETR's 12 zones through Dec. 31, 2025. These rates peak during morning and afternoon rush hour when the highway is at its busiest.While the 407 ETR's operators claim that "zones with lighter traffic will remain unchanged during rush hour," some motorists using the central stretches of the highway at peak periods can expect to fork over more dough for the privilege of dodging bumper-to-bumper 401 traffic.According to the toll route's operators, "a few central sections nearing congestion in the afternoon will see increases of up to 34 cents per kilometr...

New signage has begun to appear in the newly-renamed TMU Station — with the station on the TTC's Line 1 Yonge–University officially shedding its Dundas name after 71 years.The renaming of Dundas Station was approved in a unanimous decision by the TTC Board last spring, following a Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) proposal to establish a research partnership and rebrand the station to reflect the educational institute it serves.The subway station is the second major location to shed the Dundas name after Sankofa (formerly Yonge-Dundas) Square, in response to mounting concerns about namesake Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, and his alleged involvement in delaying the end of the slave trade.Toronto City Council approved a motion in 2021 to rename Dundas Street and similarly named civic assets, paving the way for the station's current renaming to TMU, which was itself renamed from Ryerson University over similar historical concerns about that school's na...
