U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (Office of Freight Management and Operations) and Transport Canada, in partnership with state and provincial transportation organizations, regional planning organizations, and other federal agencies, developed a Border Information Flow Architecture (BIFA). BIFA supports the planning, development, and implementation of ITS and other technology-based solutions at the U.S.-Canada border. The process to develop BIFA was similar to the one used to develop regional ITS architectures. To learn more, visit the following web sites:
