U.S. Travel: Key Policy Adjustments

U.S. Travel recommends five key policy adjustments to reduce airport entry wait times for international travelers.

  1. Hiring 3,500 additional CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) officers, as provided for in the Senate immigration bill (S. 744).
  2. Staffing flexibility to ensure CBP’s officers are allocated for maximum efficiency.
  3. Implementing enhanced technology to alleviate pressure on CBP officer staffing.
  4. Reducing peak wait times by 50 percent and processing each traveler within 30 minutes.
  5. Enhancing transparency to improve government and private sector coordination.
