Study Shows Drivers Are Paying The Price

A new study says Ontario drivers are paying most of road infrastructure costs, to the tune of more than $7.5-billion a year.
The Conference Board of Canada says Ontario road users driving cars, minivans, SUVs and light pickup trucks are paying 70% to 90% of the costs of the road through fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees and tolls.
The report notes that municipalities that own and maintain a large part of the infrastructure collect a relatively small portion of the revenues.
