407 ETR’s Route Relief Program

Terms and Conditions

Please read carefully before completing and signing application.

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. Eligible participants will receive up to the first six (6) 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. The Program does not apply to travel on the Province of Ontario's Highway 407 East.

3. Eligibility. You are eligible to participate in the Program only if on the date of your application:

1. You are a resident of Ontario, Canada, and can provide proof of residency.
2. You have no outstanding 407 ETR account balance.
3. You have an Ontario licence plate registered under your personal name (only one vehicle licence plate per household will be allowed under the Program).

4. You can sufficiently demonstrate 'low-income status' (based on Statistics Canada's after-tax low-income measure (LIM) and an assessment of various factors like household expenses, size and composition).
