407 ETR continues to invest in expansion to meet the needs of customers. In 2011, 407 ETR opened a new lane in each direction between Highway 401 and Trafalgar Road. In 2012, 407 ETR plans to open a new lane in each direction between Highway 400 and Highway 404. Since 1999, the company has invested over $1.2 billion to expand and maintain the highway.
“Significant investment in expansion and maintenance of the highway allows 407 ETR to relieve congestion on other GTA highways and local roads,” said Jose Tamariz, 407 ETR President and Chief Executive Officer. “We provide customers with a fast, safe and reliable trip. Travelling at a constant speed on a congestion free highway reduces the environmental impact of driving and saves customers time, and fuel.”
407 ETR continues to provide customers excellent service and recently introduced a new website with enhanced self-service options. 407 ETR offers customers the environmentally friendly choice of paperless billing and also offers customers pre-authorized payment options. 407 ETR customers can save money by leasing a transponder on an annual basis. The annual lease rate remains $21.50. A transponder pays for itself after only 6 trips per year on the highway. In addition, the company is continuing its “no sign-up” required 407 ETR Rewards Program that has already offered customers more than $55 million in free kilometres and fuel savings.
