Highway 401 east through Durham Region
401 East
Durham east of the city, then out past Bowmanville toward the Kawarthas. The first four are commuter distance; Kawartha Lakes is not, and is treated as travel-by-confirmation rather than routine coverage.
Out from Toronto. 7 municipalities on the route, 23 districts and communities inside them. 30 of the 30 have a confirmed operational position, 29 have a page of local detail.
A confirmed position means the owner of this business stated, on a date, what coverage of that municipality means — not that a job there has been photographed and published. Both are on the record and they are not the same thing. The dates are in /api/v1/markets.

Before you call about a market on this route
The published price bands are the same everywhere in Ontario, and New York State has its own published bands in US dollars with the crossing already inside them. Within a country, distance shows up in the written price after the measure, not as a different rate card. If you are holding quotes already, put them side by side before comparing the totals — the usual reason two quotes disagree is that they are pricing different work.
Everything on the other routes, and the full model behind these statuses, is readable as data at /api/v1/markets and /api/v1/corridors. This page is served as clean Markdown at /corridors/401-east.md.
