Canada-United States Transportation Border Working Group(TBWG). The 2003 Compendium contains port descriptions(ie. ownership, physical layout, annual traffic data, etc.) as well as current information on on-going, planned and proposed infrastructure projects at border crossings, including their approaches. The Compendium focused on ports of entry with dedicated commercial operations or significant non-commercial traffic.... TBWG Compendium Subcommittee members proceeded to enhance the crossing descriptions with commodity and other new data, and all information was updated to 2004. The result is an on-line Border Infrastructure Compendium that provides a full picture of the busiest Canada-U. S. commercial land border crossings. 1, record 2, English, - Online%20Border%20Infrastructure%20Compendium

Groupe de travail sur les questions frontalières de transport du Canada et des États-Unis (GTQFT). Le recueil de 2003 renferme des descriptions des points d'entrée (propriété, disposition physique, données sur la circulation annuelle, etc.) et des renseignements à jour sur les travaux d'infrastructure en cours, prévus ou proposés aux postes frontaliers ou aux abords. Il portait surtout sur les points d'entrée réservés aux expéditions commerciales ou ceux où le trafic non commercial était important. [...] Les membres [du] Comité du recueil du GTQFT ont entrepris d'améliorer les descriptions des passages en y ajoutant des données sur les marchandises et d'autres données nouvelles, et tous les renseignements englobent maintenant l'année 2004. Il en résulte un recueil en ligne sur l'infrastructure frontalière qui dresse un tableau complet des postes les plus achalandés de la frontière terrestre canado-américaine dans le secteur commercial. 1, record 2, French, - Recueil%20de%20l%27infrastructure%20frontali%C3%A8re%20en%20ligne
