New App to Detail Wait Times at Border

A new application announced Tuesday will give people traveling across the border more information on the wait times they would be facing.

The new mobile application, Border Wait Time, gives people access to border wait times at various ports of entry around the county and the status of open lanes at land ports of entry on-the-go, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officials said.

Wait times for pedestrian, passenger and commercial vehicles are broken down by lane type, the CBP said. Through the application, users can locate the three closest ports of entry and map the best route to their selected crossing.

The application does not require the individual to register or provide any personal information. Additionally, CBP does not have access to or store personal information from travelers.

Users can download the application for free on Android's Play Store and the iTunes App Store.
