In a recent survey of Ontarians, only 1-in-4 respondents has taken a vacation in the past year. With the Government of Ontario moving into Stage 2 of its reopening framework today and many Ontarians weighing safe travel options, taking a road trip is the top choice this summer. In fact, road trips and other local travel appear to be filling the void left by a dramatic decline in air travel outside of Canada. Read the full release:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re headed to the cottage, camping or are passing through the GTA to your final destination, we\u2019re proud to be the route of choice to spend less time in traffic and more time making memories on your summer vacation,\u201d said Javier Tamargo, President and CEO, 407 ETR.<\/p>\n<p>More than half of 407 ETR drivers report time savings between 20 to 60 minutes per trip and with Highway 407 ETR\u2019s exceptional safety record and free roadside assistance if you run into trouble on the road, it\u2019s the ideal route for road trippers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the survey, almost 4-in-5 Ontarians have enjoyed road tripping at some point in their lives and 64% of respondents said that family road trips were part of their childhood. Not surprisingly, 81% of survey respondents planning a road trip said they would like to take a road trip with their family this summer.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a road trip, in addition to packing a vehicle safety kit, 407 ETR is encouraging drivers to download 407 ETR\u2019s mobile app which allows users to conveniently calculate tolls and set routes to receive notifications about traffic conditions impacting their drive.

The province-wide results are weighted to n=600 based on Census data from Statistics Canada. The remaining 847 interviews were used as oversample to allow for more confidence in the findings for the regions and cities of the GTA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weighting: <\/strong>Results for Canada are weighted by age, gender, and region to ensure that the overall sample\u2019s composition reflects that of the actual population according to Census data; in order to provide results that are intended to approximate a probability sample. Weighted and unweighted frequencies are reported in the table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Margin of Error: <\/strong>This is a representative sample. However, since the online survey was not a random probability based sample, a margin of error cannot be calculated.
