Next Steps and

•Increase/maximize enrollment participation at existing high volume ports of entry

•As volumes increases, retrofit additional lanes with technology to create additional lanes.

•By increasing participation in FAST / SENTRI at existing sites, enforcement focus can be directed to the “high risk” cargo / travelers.
