For those of us who live in Toronto, traffic is just a normal (albeit annoying) part of everyday life. However, one American tourist who recently visited the city described the congestion in Toronto as some of the "worst" gridlock they've seen anywhere, including major U.S. cities. "Toronto, it's just one hour away from Toronto," one of the top comments reads. According to the study, traffic congestion currently costs Ontario $56.4 billion annually, with a staggering $44.7 billion of that impact felt in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Officials say the plan is designed to "help mitigate traffic congestion, improve transit reliability and make travel safer and more efficient for all road users."
