“People across Ontario have spoken. The CAA Worst Roads campaign gives voice to residents who experience firsthand the impact that deteriorating roads and aging infrastructure have on our lives daily,” said Nadia Todorova. “The results underscore the importance of sustained investment in state-of-good-repair infrastructure. Safe, reliable roads are essential to how people move, work, and connect with their communities.
