  1. 01

    Before you leave

    Find your crossing.

    Explore crossings along the Mexico–US border and open the one you need without getting lost among similar names.

  2. 02

    The line right now

    Compare every lane.

    Check the published wait for General, Ready Lane, SENTRI, or FAST based on the crossing and travel mode.

  3. 03

    More than a number

    Put the wait in context.

    Compare today’s line with what is typical for that hour and see whether the crossing is running better, worse, or close to normal.

  4. 04

    Plan your departure

    Look for a better hour.

    Review the day’s typical shape and the best available hours to decide whether to leave now or wait.

  5. 05

    While it charges

    Keep the wait in view with StandBy.

    Check San Ysidro in StandBy while your iPhone charges. StandBy, CarPlay, and Home Screen widgets stay free.
