1. Purpose. 407 ETR Concession Company Limited (“407 ETR”) has introduced the Route Relief Program (the “Program”) to assist low-income families by offering them another transportation option to consider for their travel, including the ability to experience the benefits of travelling Highway 407 ETR.
2. Program Details.
a) Eligible participants will receive up to the first eight (8) trips free on Highway 407 ETR per month, whereby the tolls, trip toll charges and any camera charges associated with such trips will be credited accordingly by 407 ETR. A ‘trip’ means one entry and associated exit on the toll highway.
b) Any vehicle licence plates registered in your name and associated with travel on Highway 407 ETR will count toward the first 8 trips, whether you are the primary driver or not. For example, if two licence plates are registered to you and are each associated with 4 trips, you have reached your 8 free trips for the calendar month.
