A pilot project allowing lone drivers to pay to use carpool lanes on the Queen Elizabeth Way between Burlington and Oakville will launch in September. The idea is not sitting well with environmentalists and the NDP.
"I don't like it," Lynda Lukasik, executive director of Environment Hamilton. "It means people can avoid appropriate behaviour by buying their way out. "That's what really bugs me about it. It gives a privilege to someone who shouldn't have the privilege, just because they can afford to pay for it."
