Road ownership and responsibility

Creating a safe and efficient transportation network is a shared responsibility. Federal, Provincial, Regional and local municipal governments each manage different types of roads and transportation infrastructure, working together to support safe travel and connected communities.

Federal Government

Major bridges, border crossings and federally owned transportation infrastructure.

The Government of Canada supports transportation across the country through national policies, road safety initiatives and infrastructure funding. Most highways and roads are not federally owned; they are managed by provincial, territorial or municipal governments.

Province of Ontario

Provincial highways such as Highway 401, QEW and Highway 407.

The Province, through the Ministry of Transportation (MTO), manages Ontario’s provincial highway network, including highways such as Highway 401 and the QEW. MTO is responsible for provincial highway planning, construction and operations, and also administers transportation legislation such as the Highway Traffic Act.

Halton Region
