the tolls aren ' t for transit . the city report speaks to tolls being used on things such as general infrastructure . ~~ i haven ' t found any mention that tolls wouldn ' t go to general revenue in the report , but i ' ve only just skimmed it . ~~ edit , reading the report found 98518 . pdf # page 41 , the law needs to change significantly . city of toronto is looking to put a fee on public use infrastructure , which means the revenue can only cover the costs of that public use infrastructure . they would like to have the surplus revenue go to other infrastructure needs , such as transit . assuming the province 1 passes the regs to allow highway tolling in toronto , money goes to gardiner and dvp upkeep first , by law . a second step , again by the province would be required which is to 2 permit revenues collected on one piece of public infrastructure go towards other public infrastructure . get ready for an era of creative bookkeeping if this happens .
