The article focuses on several state-issued licenses that meet U.S. standards and are being issued to U.S. citizens who want an option to using a passport to return from Canada or Mexico. Truck drivers from the U.S., Canada and Mexico who have undergone a federal background check are allowed by the Free And Secure Trade (FAST) card to cross the U.S. borders via dedicated FAST lanes. Preapproved, low-risk travelers are allowed by the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) card to quickly enter the United States by land or sea.
