essing of registered travelers who enter and exit the 
United States. In order to include as many partici-
pants as possible, the Congress mandated that the 
Secretary of Homeland Security create a program 
that— 
(A) minimizes the cost of enrollment; 
(B) makes the program enrollment conven-
ient and easily accessible; and

sistent eligibility requirements. 
(2) According to the Department of State Bu-
reau of Consular Affairs, 400,000 individuals made 
48 percent of cross-border trips between the United 
States and Canada in 2004. These are the frequent

(3) Barriers to enrollment in the Free and Se-

and the ‘‘NEXUS’’ dedicated commuter lane system 
(‘‘NEXUS’’ or ‘‘NEXUS program’’) include inad-
equate numbers and locations of enrollment centers, 
a confusing application process, and high enrollment 
fees for non-commercial users.
