Are toll road fees (e.g., Highway 407) reimbursed?

Travel allowance covers distance, not toll charges.

Are toll road fees (e.g., Highway 407) reimbursed?

Short answer:
No—while the system may calculate reimbursement based on the shortest real-world driving route (which can include toll roads), any toll charges—such as those for highways, bridges, or ferries etc.—are always the worker’s responsibility and are not covered.


Details:

  • Reimbursement is calculated from the shortest real-world driving route, which may include toll segments like highways, bridges, or ferries.

  • Toll fees themselves are not reimbursed, so if you choose a route with tolls (e.g. Highway 407, toll bridge, or toll ferry), those fees remain your personal cost.

Examples of toll roads and crossings in Canada:

  • Autoroute 30, Quebec

  • A-25 Bridge (north of Montreal)

  • Confederation Bridge (NB ↔ PEI)

  • Niagara Falls border crossings: Rainbow Bridge, Queenston-Lewiston Bridge, Whirlpool Rapids Bridge

  • Other international bridges: Sault Ste. Marie, Thousand Islands, Three Nations Crossing, etc.

  • Ontario Highways 407 and 412

  • Cobequid Pass, Nova Scotia

  • MacKay and Macdonald toll bridges, Halifax


In summary:

  • Distance reimbursement may include toll-based routes, but Toll charges are not reimbursed under any circumstances.
