	Truckers Consider Latest Highway 407 Toll Hike Unjustifiable
		Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) president David Bradley is discouraged by today's announcement that Highway 407 is set to raise its toll rates for the second time in nine months.
		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.
		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.

	Eye Weekly - Lost highway - 05.11.00
		Before the highway was opened, millions in extra costs were incurred due to safety improvements deemed necessary by the OPP, but when it opened for business in October 1997, the 407 became a revenue-generating machine operated in a partnership between the province, now run by the Tories, and Canadian Highways International Corp. (CHIC) of Mississauga.
		Elements of the secretive arrangement between the provincial government and the private consortium that runs the 407 show that the taxpayer is still stuck with some of the costs of the toll road, while the profits go to the private investors.
		The 407 was planned as a public/private partnership, but only for as long as it took to pay off the construction costs -- then the 407 was supposed to become a freeway.
