MCK pursues next steps on toll project with feasibility study

Press Release

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that it has secured global industry-leading firm Arcadis to consult and conduct the Tolling Feasibility Study, which will explore the potential implementation of tolls across Kahnawà:ke’s existing roadway network.

Arcadis is recognized worldwide for its expertise in engineering, tolling system advising, and technology driven sustainable design, with operations in more than 70 countries. Their experience spans across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia. The company generated over $5B in revenue in 2024 and has led major projects including the tolling system for the Gordie Howe International Bridge.

This feasibility study will assess technical, financial, environmental, infrastructural, and community perspective factors, and is expected to take 6 to 12 months to complete.  Additional factors will be analyzed, such as the potential impacts that tolls could have on the local economy, traffic congestion, safety and security, and jurisdiction. This work represents Kahnawà:ke’s continued exploration of the project’s viability and will provide recommended options on the type of toll that would best be suited for Kahnawà:ke roadway network.

In the fall of 2025, MCK established a community team to evaluate the necessary components that would need to be considered for any tolling framework. This team includes experts in transportation, public safety, finance, and infrastructure.

Discussions continued in January 2026, further refining the areas of study and ensuring that community needs, rights, and safety remain central in the evaluation process.
