About this app

Know before you go. BorderSmart gives you one clear answer: how long is the wait at the US-Mexico border right now?

We combine official CBP data, traffic signals, and verified community reports into a single, honest estimate for northbound crossings at San Ysidro and Otay Mesa.

Your Lane, Your Way
Set your primary crossing lane and see the current wait the moment you open the app — no digging, no guesswork.

Compare All Lanes
The Forecast Board shows wait times across General, Ready Lane, and SENTRI at both ports side-by-side so you can pick the fastest option.

Transparent Confidence
Every estimate shows its confidence level, data freshness, and source breakdown. We never fake precision — you see ranges, not false certainty.

Best Time to Cross
Lane Detail view ranks the best crossing windows for the rest of the day so you can plan ahead.

Smart Alerts
Get notified when your lane drops below a threshold, spikes above one, or when another lane becomes faster. Set quiet hours so you're not woken up at 4 AM.

Contribute & Improve
Start and finish a crossing in two taps. Your verified wait time feeds back into the forecast, making it better for everyone.

Works Offline
Cached data keeps the board available even without a connection.
