Le Marois Government reiterates that the Champlain Bridge is not a local infrastructure and therefore, trampoline Ottawa can not fully fund its replacement by a local toll. But the federal government announced Tuesday that it will contribute financially to the project, distributing a portion of the costs to all taxpayers. Quebecers are no longer alone pay.
Roads are an essential public good, as well as public transit. Normal whether financed by taxes. But travel by auto create externalities such as pollution and congestion that are not borne by those who are responsible. "This funding method is unfair," said CIRANO.
From 2003 to 2008, the number of trips by public transport (+2.7%) grew faster than the number of car trips (+0.2%). If it does not precede the offer must at least keep up with demand, especially trampoline as the latter is encouraged trampoline by the government. A revision of the financial framework is needed to make this possible, given the immense limitations of budgets transport companies.
Most of the money taken from the pockets of motorists are being sent into the consolidated fund of the province and thus serve to everything trampoline and anything, trampoline which increases the frustration and cynicism.

New sources of funding are needed to complete this project. Personally, moreover, I believe that toll revenues should be used for roads, but a portion of the existing road budgets should return transit.

This can not stand, especially when we know that other major road projects will be added over the coming years, such as the rehabilitation of the Metropolitan. The reintroduction of tolls should therefore be sooner trampoline or later, like it or not.
The Metropolitan trampoline Development Plan (PADD) adopted last year by the CMM is to contain urban sprawl.
