Effort to test, evaluate and deploy technologies to automate the measurement of real-time border wait times at United States-Canada land border crossings.

A 2005 study conducted by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce estimated United States-Canada border delays cost approximately $10 billion per year—more than $4 billion annually to the US economy and about $6 billion a year to the Canadian economy. While it is impossible to eliminate all delay due to the necessary and effective completion of compliance activities and other operational requirements, the need exists to identify and implement solutions that reduce unnecessary delay.
