Lower tolls and fares on P-E-I’s Confederation Bridge and ferries start today.
Fulfilling a promise the Liberals made during the April election campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced earlier this week that the toll for an average vehicle will drop from 50-dollars and 25-cents to 20 dollars to cross the bridge.
Other federally supported ferry services in Eastern Canada are also seeing their fares reduced by 50 per cent for passengers, vehicles and commercial traffic.
The toll is only applied for vehicles leaving the Island.

A new report shows the global average cost of a data breach dropped for the first time in five years — but not in Canada.
Nova Scotia Power was one of the companies in Canada that reported cybersecurity issues last year.
Research from I-B-M and the Ponemon Institute shows the average cost of a breach between March 2024 and February 2025 fell from the prior year to 6.4-million dollars.
However, in Canada, the average cost of a breach soared to nearly seven-million dollars this year, from 6.3-million dollars the year before.

P-E-I announced a similar agreement with New Brunswick earlier this week.
