The annual advocacy campaign is marking its 20th year of influencing change.
The campaign has given decision-makers a snapshot of the roads that need fixing.
“Our research tells us that 85 per cent of Ontarians are concerned about the state of our roads,” says Teresa Di Felice, assistant vice president of government and community relations, CAA South Central Ontario.
“Due to inflation, consumers are being more mindful of their purchases, and people are opting to hold on to their cars for longer instead of buying a new one. Funding for roadway improvements and proper infrastructure needs to be consistent to ensure that quality and safety are maintained.”
CAA’s research shows 59% of members say Ontario’s roads have worsened.
Sixty-nine per cent of members say they are slowing down for bad spots on the road or swerving to avoid potholes.
Seventy-eight per cent of members shared dissatisfaction to their loved ones or colleagues instead of government officials.
The campaign allows all road users to vote for roads that they think need to be repaired.
Ontarians can vote for their worst road at caaworstroads.com until April 21.
