Tolls suspended on Coquihalla Highway

For the first time in 22 years, travelers on the Coquihalla Highway in British Columbia no longer have to pay tolls. "Removing the tolls will mean literally hundred of dollars annually in the pockets of British Columbians who regularly use the highway," said Premier Gordon Campbell. "It will also mean thousands of dollars in annual savings for truckers, who account for 20 percent of highway traffic along the corridor but pay more than half of the total toll revenue."
