We're Talking Borderline | Public Safety Communications


WASHINGTON, DC: Are you driving to the United States from Mexico? US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can tell you exactly what you need to know, if you?re wondering:

  • Is the crossing open?
  • How long is the wait?
  • Which lane should I be in?
  • What documents do I need?

CBP is in the process of installing a special information radio station, referred to as a Travelers Information Station/Highway Advisory Radio (TIS/HAR) system, at key land border ports of entry, providing information to approaching motorists with the intention of expediting their passage across the border.

The federally licensed 10-watt AM radio stations are currently installed in El Paso, Laredo, TX; San Luis, AZ; and Calexico (East), CA. Additional sites are planned on the southwest border and locations on the US/Canadian border are also being considered.

Information Station Specialists (ISS) of Zeeland, Michigan, is providing the design, electronic equipment and installation services for this newly piloted project.

The stations provide the capability of broadcasting time-sensitive messages developed at the local ports of entry, in addition to messages developed at the national level by CBP Headquarters.
