Bill 70: Supporting Mobility, Affordability and Reliable Transportation in Ontario Act, 2025

This bill primarily affects real estate developers and construction companies in Ontario who may purchase or develop land disposed of by Metrolinx — they would need to ensure at least 20% of any residential units built are affordable as defined under the Development Charges Act. Road construction and maintenance contractors working on northern Ontario highways (Highways 11, 17, and 69) would see new procurement opportunities as the province upgrades these corridors to a 2+1 configuration, with procurement details published annually. Trucking, logistics, and freight companies that rely on these two-lane northern highways would benefit from improved road maintenance standards — snow cleared within four hours, ice within three hours, and potholes repaired within four days. Municipal bike share operators across Ontario may also be affected as Metrolinx takes on a role integrating bike share routes, fares, and schedules into the broader regional transit system.
