The tax provides more than $23 billion per year in revenue for federal highway and public transit programs. The federal gas tax has been in place, in one way or another, since 1919 and was last raised in 1993.

The province is expanding its tow truck zones starting April 1 to restrict more sections of Ontario's highways to contracted companies approved by the Ministry of Transportation. This change aims to improve safety and streamline the towing process.

Gridlock is costing our economy billions of dollars every year and robbing Ontario drivers of valuable time and quality of life. He added the changes would help keep drivers moving across the province.

Oversized models, such as large SUVs, make it harder for drivers to see people walking and cycling nearby. SUVs are 14 per cent more likely to kill people walking and cycling than other passenger cars, and 77 per cent more likely to kill children up to the age of 18 in England.

The proposal was aimed at getting 'the best of both worlds': protecting New Hampshire drivers from rising costs while funding safety improvements to highways. It would 'free up' between $560 million and $580 million for regional projects that may not be covered by the state's recently-completed 10-year plan.

A preliminary estimate of the total cost to install traffic calming measures on local and collector roadways within school zones is approximately $52 million. Assuming a moderate increase in the annual delivery capacity, it would take approximately 13 years to install traffic calming measures on all eligible roadways within school zones in Toronto.

E-Z Pass' plastic transponders could soon be replaced by stickers equipped with digital chips and barcodes. The change would mean no need to mount your transponder in the perfect spot, or hold it up while passing through toll plazas. First, officials say 3,000 turnpike vehicles will test out the stickers during an 8-week pilot program.

When routes are well organized, there are clear directional signs, and speed limits become reasonable. The early installation of warning signs allows transport companies to plan deliveries more accurately and avoid delays. For businesses, time is money. When a truck carrying goods does not spend hours detouring due to an unclear traffic scheme or stuck in traffic where it could have been avoided thanks to competent traffic management, fuel costs, driver wages, and vehicle maintenance costs are reduced.

MANHATTAN - THE GATEWAY COMMISSION SUED the U.S. Department of Transportation, alleging the agency is withholding $205,275,358 in contractually required payments for the $16 billion Hudson River rail tunnel project and forcing a potential work stoppage Feb. 6 that could cost about 1,000 jobs, reports The case, filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, comes as the Gateway Development Commission warns its credit line is exhausted and contractors may be unable to keep building sites active on both sides of the river.

Construction remains paused for now and we continue to work with our contractors to plan how to deploy these funds in the most effective way and get workers back on the job to resume some construction as soon as possible,

There's no one solution to fix the city's gridlock, Toronto's new chief congestion officer says as he finishes up his first week on the job. Andrew Posluns sat down with CBC Toronto on Friday to discuss the freshly created role, noting there's no magic bullet that will address the city's congestion. There are a lot of factors that feed into congestion, he said. We need to do everything we can in order to be able to mitigate and address the congestion challenges that arise.

Official evaluations from National Highways, some of which had been held back by the Department for Transport (DfT) since completion in 2023, showed that a slew of big projects to convert the hard shoulder on the M1, M4, M6 and M25 were rated as poor or very poor value. The AA said the long-awaited reports revealed smart motorways had been a catastrophic waste of time, money and effort, although the government said they showed the project could allow more vehicles to travel safely.

The City of Toronto's 2026 budget offers relief many homeowners were looking for in its property tax increase, but it also lays bare the massive amount of infrastructure work hanging over the city in the coming years which, in some cases, may be deferred. With budget season now in full swing at city hall, several city departments will sit in front of the budget committee this week to give presentations on their financial needs this year. Among them will be the parks and recreation department, which is caught up in a nearly $2 billion deferral of work in the 10-year capital plan, which is the city's plan to maintain, renew and grow infrastructure. That work was supposed to be funded by development charges that builders pay to the city, but recent provincial legislation made it so developers could pay those fees once their buildings are occupied, as opposed to when they get their building permits. The change means the city will receive that revenue years later than under the previous rules, so the work it would fund has to be put off, according to city budget documents.
