Research being released by the five companies under Ministry of Transportation's Winter Maintenance Program is showing that Ontarians want the government to make roads safer.The survey, conducted by Ipsos Reid from March 3rd to 7th shows that the majority of 1,500 Ontario drivers feel the government should increase spending on highway maintenance.
The study also shows that Ontarians find roads to be in worse conditions than they were 3 years ago by a 2-to-1 margin, and by a 3-to-1 margin in Northern Ontario.
The Ontario Road Builders Association continues to meet with government officials to resolve the road safety issues.
