Have you noticed more and more travelers skipping right by you in airport lines recently?\u00a0\u00a0 If so, they are probably part of a Trusted Traveler Program – a program developed by Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to speed up the travel process.\u00a0 Trusted Traveler Programs provide expedited travel for pre-approved, low risk travelers through dedicated lanes and kiosks.<\/p>\n

There are several different TTP\u2019s you can apply for depending on the type of travel you plan on doing.\u00a0 Here is a brief overview of each program:<\/p>\n

GLOBAL ENTRY<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0 If you want to travel internationally and move quickly through CBP processing, this is the program for you.\u00a0 The Global Entry program provides expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.\u00a0 Participants may enter the United States by using automated kiosks located at select airports.<\/p>\n

NEXUS<\/strong><\/a>: A joint Canada-USA program designed to let pre-approved, low-risk travelers cross the Canada-US border quickly. Members of the program can avoid long waits at border entry points by using self-serve kiosks at airports, reserved lanes at land crossings, or by phoning border officials when entering by water.<\/p>\n

SENTRI<\/strong>: <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The SENTRI Card is for pre-approved travelers who cross the U.S.\/Mexico border frequently. It has the added benefit of access to dedicated commuter lanes on the southern border.\u00a0 SENTRI is solely a CBP program and only applies to customs and immigrations inspections into the United States, not into Mexico.<\/p>\n

TSA PreCheck (TSA Pre<\/strong>\u2713<\/strong>™<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/a>:\u00a0 This is a program for domestic travel within the United States.\u00a0 You can qualify for TSA PreCheck if you are a member of one of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection\u2019s (CBP)\u00a0Trusted Traveler programs, including Global Entry, NEXUS and SENTRI.\u00a0 TSA Pre\u2713™ is currently available at 40 airports nationwide.\u00a0 TSA recently announced it would be opening up the program to more US Citizens later this year.<\/p>\n

This is the first part in our series on Trusted Traveler Programs where we will cover each program in more detail.\u00a0 In our next post, we will focus on the Global Entry program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
