• Abstract:
  In 2023, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) participated in a data-based examination of the U.S.- Canada border with Transport Canada. The primary task of the binational working group was to identify the most consequential land border ports that could be vulnerable to disruption of international freight flows and transportation. The group used freight dollar values and border crossing counts to 1) rank order land ports to identify potential bottlenecks at U.S.-Canada border crossings, and 2) develop a joint framework to measure risks to help promote a more resilient border.
