• Abstract:
  The International Border Clearance (IBC) program was initiated under the provisions of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. The program was originally conceived as a means to test the feasibility of utilizing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies at border crossings to facilitate trade and transportation safety, and expedite the processing of commercial vehicles through ports of entry in states along international borders. In support of a Vice Presidential initiative to develop an international trade processing system, the IBC program was expanded to provide a means to help the U.S. Treasury address requirements for improved trade statistics and more effective import/export processing. The primary purpose for this study was to identify examples of how IBC has made progress toward its goals of facilitating trade and enhancing safety. The authors compiled information regarding experiences and lessons learned by the agencies involved in the implementation of IBC technologies, and potentially impacted by their deployment.
