Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced gas tax and fee cuts on Tuesday as a win for drivers.

Experts warn the lost revenue could drain funding for public transit, shift costs to taxpayers and set back climate goals by encouraging more driving.

Ontario 's road transportation sector already accounts for 26 per cent of the province’s emissions.

Environmental Defence: Provincial government should prioritize expanding public transit.

Government should be supporting housing construction within cities instead of pushing development onto farmland, he said.

The province should be prioritizing buses in urban spaces, like creating dedicated bus lanes, he added.

The government should also be supporting transit operations, as well as the construction of new lines, he says.
