Community Action
Ontario's Worst Roads
Each year, CAA and the Ontario Road Builder's Association compile a list of the 20 Worst Roads in Ontario - as voted by CAA Members and the general public. Thanks to your votes, the Worst Roads program has spurred government commitment to improve Ontario's roads. In January 2009, CAA's National President Tim Sherman led a team of delegates to meet with Federal Transportation and Infrastructure Minister, John Baird. Our team made a successful pitch for federal government support for cash-strapped municipalities struggling to finance road repairs and other infrastructure initiatives.
