What the lanes are
- Standard: the general passenger-vehicle, pedestrian or commercial lane.
- NEXUS / SENTRI: a lane for members of those trusted-traveller programs; the CBP feed reports it as one figure.
- Ready Lane: the CBP feed’s label for the lane meant for travellers with RFID-enabled documents.
- FAST: the commercial lane for members of the FAST program.

Which lane for which trip
Passenger cars and most travellers use the standard passenger lane. Pedestrians use the pedestrian lane where it exists. Trucks use the commercial lane. Check the live figure for the lane you will use on the Thousand Islands Bridge wait page: lanes at the same crossing can differ by an hour.
