Border Document Requirements Chart Now Available

A final rule on the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) was issued on April 3, 2008. The deadline for carrying a passport or an acceptable substitute has been set at June 1, 2009. To alleviate the confusion these requirements have caused, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) has produced a chart of WHTI requirements -- for both now and for June 1, 2009 -- for drivers and others crossing the northern and southern borders. A copy of the chart is attached.
