DERBY LINE — U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently launched the Border Wait Time app, which they say will make it easier for travelers to plan their trip across the border.
The app provides estimated wait times and open lane status, allowing travelers to make an informed decision of where and when to cross the border. Travelers can download the app for free from Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
“CBP continues to deploy technology that enhances the travel experience at all of our ports of entry,” said Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowse. “The launch of this app will provide travelers crossing the land border with more information where and when they need it.”
The app is a one-stop shop for cross border travel. Travelers can locate the three ports of entry closest to their location and then map the best route to the crossing of their choice.
The app was developed by CBP and does not require individuals to register or provide any personal information. CBP does not store or have access to any information regarding travelers using the app.
