As many of our members know, the BTA has contemplated creating a Binational Incentive Travel card for consumers over the past few years.

As a result of the WHTI process over the past two years, we are pleased to advise we will be working with Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs & Border Protection to assist in the promotion and use of the NEXUS frequent traveller card, rather than creating a new card.

The NEXUS program was 5 years old in 2007, and is currently the most secure form of traveler identification available.  At a cost of $50 U.S. or $50 Cdn for adults over 18 for 5 years, and no charge for children and youth under 18, it is the most economical and practical solution to cross-border travel for residents of and visitors to Northern cross-border regions.
