CBP's four trusted traveler programs are designed to allow for expedited travel for preapproved, low-risk travelers and cargo through dedicated lanes and kiosks at select POEs throughout the nation. The four trusted traveler programs are predicated on the vetting of travelers who have voluntarily applied for membership, paid a fee, and provided personal data to CBP. Travelers who are granted trusted traveler status are considered lower risk than other travelers because of the vetting CBP conducts both when the travelers apply for program participation and after they become members. The programs, according to CBP officials, are part of the agency's risk-based security approach to focus resources, such as CBP officers, at the POEs on passengers and cargo that have not been identified as low risk.
