Toronto’s Traffic Crisis Is Keeping Workers Out of the Office, Poll Says
- Survey finds 64% are reluctant to commute due to traffic woes
- Office vacancies still hurting the economy of city’s downtown
Traffic is so bad in Canada’s financial capital that a majority of Toronto residents are prepared to endure around-the-clock construction to improve the situation sooner, according to new polling data.
A survey commissioned by the Toronto Region Board of Trade found that 64% of residents are reluctant to travel to work because of traffic congestion, a dismal statistic that’s harming efforts by banks and other large employers to get workers to come to the office more often.
