TORONTO – The price of travelling the 407 ETR through the Greater Toronto Area becomes variable by season this year, a move that’s presented as a way to ensure the electronic toll highway doesn’t become congested during busy times of the year.
The 407’s toll rates will generally be highest during the summer from May through October and lowest from February to April.
The rates also vary by time of day, day of week, weight of vehicle, direction of travel and section of highway used.
