The BTA hosts Regional Meetings to facilitate discussion between policy makers and local stakeholders on issues affecting our borders. Several meetings are held each year in different locations throughout both borders in order to relay and gather information regarding current policies in motion.
BTA Regional Meeting - WHTI
General Information:
The pending implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) is likely to have the largest impact on the land border crossing experience of any of the secure traveler programs to date. While SENTRI, NEXUS, FAST and other secure traveler programs are voluntary in nature, WHTI will become a mandatory requirement for all U.S. citizens traveling within North America and the Caribbean.
The Border Trade Alliance, along with the City of Nogales, Arizona, are pleased to present an opportunity for citizens to learn more about WHTI and engage in constructive dialogue with representatives from the federal government responsible for the successful implementation of this new requirement for all U.S. travelers.
