Tips to Prevent Getting Cross at the Border
Dec 1, 2001 12:00 PM
The Detroit MI Regional Chamber is encouraging commercial and passenger traffic to use these tips to expedite border traffic and help reduce delays:
All drivers should have identification ready, preferably two pieces of ID. A passport, birth certificate, and photo ID are the best choices to satisfy inspectors on both sides of the border.
Commercial vehicles must turn on interior cab lights and open all interior drapes/blinds to the sleeper area for inspection.
All vehicles should stay in designated lanes.
Medical personnel should check with department heads on special border-crossing programs.
The chamber has been coordinating federal lobbying efforts to increase northern border resources. A new task force, Northern Borders for Economic Security and Trade (NBEST), is bringing together stakeholders.
