"We're proud of the work we've done this year to support our customers and surrounding communities," says Jose Espinosa, President & CEO, 407 ETR. "From expanding our Route Relief Program and driving offers to the investments we've made to improve Highway 407 ETR — we remain committed to serving the GTA with a safe and reliable route that delivers real value for drivers and Ontario."
In October 2025, 407 ETR released a report by global infrastructure consultancy Steer, highlighting the Company's significant economic impact on the GTA. The findings reveal that 407 ETR delivers $1.2 billion in annual socioeconomic benefits through faster travel times, reduced fuel consumption, enhanced regional mobility and fewer collisions. The Company also supports 1,800 full-time equivalent jobs across Canada, including 550 direct employees in Woodbridge, Ontario.
In 2025, 407 ETR invested approximately $3.4 million in GTA communities through sponsorships, donations and free travel (excluding promotional driving offers). This included more than $600,000 supporting six environmental partners, and $180,000 for the Little Native Hockey League Tournament in Markham — providing $30,000 in funding and $150,000 in free travel for Indigenous athletes. The Company also donated $100,000 to York University's Lassonde School of Engineering's k2i (kindergarten to industry) academy to help underrepresented youth pursue STEM-related careers through specialized learning opportunities for high school students in Ontario.
The Company recently expanded its Route Relief Program for low-income drivers, providing participants with up to eight free trips per month — up from six — beginning January 1, 2026.
