For light vehicles, the change will mean an increase of one to 11 cents per kilometre, depending on the time of day and stretch travelled.

“The majority of 407 ETR’s personal customers can expect a monthly bill increase of less than $5,” the release said.

Rates are higher for heavy single-unit vehicles and heavy multiple-unit vehicles.
