The Voice of U.S. Borders

Policy Overview
We are pleased to present the Border Trade Alliance’s 2026 Policy Agenda, a comprehensive reflection of our organization’s priorities at a pivotal moment for North American trade. As the BTA marks its 40th year since its founding in 1986, the United States, Mexico, and Canada prepare for the first formal review of the USMCA, and policymakers at all levels confront new pressures on supply chains, infrastructure, and border management. The work of the BTA has never been more essential.
Board of Directors & Committees
The BTA Board of Directors is composed of business executives, elected officials, and industry experts from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Their diverse expertise ensures our advocacy reflects real-world needs, supporting safe, efficient, and competitive trade corridors across the continent.
BTA’s strength comes from its committees and volunteer leaders. The Security and Trade Committee develops positions on cross-border facilitation and security. The Agribusiness Committee addresses agricultural trade and supply chains. The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee promotes mobility and energy projects, while the Seaports Committee advances maritime efficiency. Our USMCA Public Policy Committee ensures the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is structured to promote prosperity across North America.
