The provincially owned portion of Highway 407 East in Ontario has been toll- free since June 1, 2025. This removal of tolls was part of the Progressive Conservative government's budget and fulfilled a campaign promise made by Premier Doug Ford. The toll-free section runs from Pickering to Clarington. The removal of tolls is estimated to save daily commuters around $7,200 annually. For the privately operated 407 ETR segment (between Burlington and Brock Road in Pickering), tolls still apply, but there are programs like the Route Relief Program offering eligible low-income households up to six free trips per month. Additionally, there are some ongoing promotions providing free trips for new account sign-ups or during specific time periods. Summary:

  • Highway 407 East provincially owned portion is toll-free since June 1, 2025.
  • 407 ETR privately operated portion remains tolled but has some programs for free trips.
  • Some promotions allow limited free trips on 407 ETR during certain times.

This means that depending on the exact section of the 407 and eligibility for programs or promotions, some parts or trips on the 407 can be free as of mid-2025.
