TORONTO - CAA kicked off its annual Ontario's Worst Roads campaign today calling on the government to fix the roads that have been damaged by the harsh winter weather of the past few months.
The auto club, which represents more than 1.9 million members, says the fluctuating freeze-thaw cycle of the past winter has littered the roads with dangerous crater-sized potholes.
Faye Lyons of CAA South Central Ontario says the group is calling on all levels of government to make improving transportation infrastructure a priority.
The CAA is also urging the Ontario government to permanently dedicate a portion of the revenue collected from gas taxes to fixing roads, bridges and highways in the province.
The group's Worst Roads campaign allows people to choose the province's worst road by voting on their website before April 25.
CAA will then present the Top 10 Worst Roads in Ontario to the government along with the group's recommendations.
