The Ford government says it has been “in conversation” with the owners of Highway 407 as calls grow for the province to either buy back the route or subsidize truck tolls to move transport vehicles off Highway 401.
A spokesperson for the minister of transportation told Global News conversations had taken place but didn’t say what the government was considering or how far it had gone in its discussions with the privately-operated toll highway.
“We will continue to find ways to make life more affordable for Ontarians and ensure they can get where they need to go every day,” they said.
“We have been in conversation with the 407 and will continue to work with our partners as we find new ways to keep our roads and economy moving.”
