	CHIC - 407 ETR
		407 ETR -- the world's first open road, all-electronic toll highway -- is a marvel of design, construction, engineering and technological know-how.
		Construction on specific structures related to Highway 407 began in the mid-1980s and, under the normal government budget allocation process, the 407 was not scheduled to be completed for 20 years or more.
		A traditional toll highway, which requires large tracts of land for toll plazas and longer distances between interchanges to reduce costs, was not feasible.

	Highway 407 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sold to a private consortium in 1999, Highway 407 was formerly a provincial freeway designed as a bypass of Highway 401, the main truck route through Southern Ontario and one of the world's busiest highways with well over 400,000 average daily trips on a section between Highway 427 and Highway 404.
		If a driver enters the 407 and does not have a transponder in his or her vehicle, the 407 snaps a picture of the license plate and receives the information about the owner of that plate, including the name and address, from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.
		If an arbitrator rules in favor of the 407, the driver is responsible for the toll charges as well as any interest and other administrative or collection fees charged by the 407 if he or she has not yet paid the amount owing.

		The 401 highway runs about 500 miles (800 km) from Windsor, Ontario (just across the river from Detroit) all the way to Montreal, Quebec, and the some 50 km stretch that passes just north of metro Toronto is reckoned to be one of the busiest highways in the world.

		Highway 407 is one of the world’s most technically advanced and financially successful toll operations.
		The physical layout of the highway with the tolled MnPass express lanes are directly adjacent to toll-free general-purpose lanes and pose a challenge to the tolling technology.

	OTA Slams Latest Highway 407 Toll Increases
		However, OTA has condemned the latest round of toll increases announced by the new owners of Highway 407, particularly as they relate to the possibility of future toll highways in the province.
		In order to see Highway 407 built in our lifetime, OTA and other road user groups agreed to a conditional use of tolls on Highway 407.
		Moreover, the rather cavalier response of some government members to what are legitimate concerns over the level of tolls on Highway 407 has not been welcome and heightens OTA concerns over Superbuild (which has no representation on its board from road users), and the prospect for future toll highways in Ontario.

	Truckers Consider Latest Highway 407 Toll Hike Unjustifiable
		Bradley said that while OTA was willing to accept the tolling of the highway in the early 1990's, when it was apparent this was the only method of ensuring its completion and availability to road users in a reasonable time frame, that this acceptance was conditional.
		The debate regarding the 407 centred on the fact that, despite this imbalance, we wouldn't have seen the 407 completed for another 25 years.
		At the time the sale of the 407 was announced, OTA was hopeful that some of the trucking industry's long standing concerns with respect to the operation of the highway would be addressed, such as ensuring that tolls were collected from commercial vehicles based in other provinces and the United States.

	When politicians sell out citizens, you get Highway 407
		Now, an arbitrator has ruled that the contract signed with 407 ETR by the Harris government was so airtight the company has every right to do so, and the public be damned.
		In turn, 407 International Inc. is owned by a consortium comprised of the Canadian subsidiary of a Spanish company called Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte (which is co-owned by Grupo Ferrovial and Australian-headquartered Macquarie Infrastructure Group) and Canadian-based SNC-Lavalin of Montreal.
		The contract does allow the province to "renegotiate" the contract with 407 ETR every five years but there is no obligation on the company to agree to any changes - or to restrain itself from demanding exorbitant compensation if it does.

		It concerns Highway 407 in Ontario, which represents the merging of two of the ugliest strands of the neoconservative insurgency that began in the 1980s.
		407 is a "Phantom tollbooth" in that it uses electronic tolling, either through cameras that record the licence plates of vehicles on the entry and exit ramps or through "transponders", dashboard devices that electronically record vehicles' use of the highway.
		The 407 revenues are almost entirely dependent on the use of state authority for private purposes.

		Because certain lily-livered safety groups have been sniveling about the lowered safety standards that were permitted in building this Pay-As-You-Play toll highway, the transportation minister is caving in and delaying the opening of the 407 until the spring.
		First of all, to ease the tax burden and to set up a fund for the families of the splattered, this toll highway is in dire need of a corporate sponsor.

		Since the existing power centres in York region are adjacent to a highway, the 407 ETR provides opportunity for more power centre development.
